    Hiking

    Over a small staircase to reach the then quite large cave. You can get in a good deal and you are immediately fascinated. In any case worth a flashlight, of course, it is also without

    Hiking

    The approx. 30 meter long and 4 meter wide beech hole cave has been under nature protection since 1938. The cave is freely accessible, but should not be entered between October 1st and March 31st so that the bats living here are not disturbed in their hibernation.

    Hiking

    The Buchenlochhöhle is a cave about 30 meters long and open to the public. During excavations in the 19th century, tools and animal bones from the Ice Age were found. To explore the cave, you should bring a flashlight with you, as there is no artificial light inside.
