The Wiehl stalactite cave is a recommendation! The tour through the approximately 400 meter long cave passages takes around 45 minutes. The tour is very informative, there is enough time for questions and they are answered gladly and in detail.

You are not simply rushed through here, but walk some sections alone until you reach the next meeting point. You are always given enough time to stop, look around and take photos.

The Wiehl stalactite cave was discovered in 1860 by blasting in a limestone quarry. In 1927, it was opened to the public after extensive security measures.
