There are all sorts of legends from the French cave, So the inhabitants are said to have hidden from the troops of Napoleon, and it is supposed to give way to the neighboring villages ... No idea if that's true ...
Currently, the French cave is quite unspectacular and you can not "go in". It's really just a short "hole". At that time, as children, we crept in a few meters with a flashlight and were pleased when we found some chunks of pyrite (cat's gold). A hike to the cave is worthwhile in any case, because of the beautiful landscape and the long forests.

Hello Matze, on tinyhouse-im-wald.de I am currently creating a collection of excursion destinations around the tiny house in the forest. It will certainly be interesting for my guests to find out more about the legends of the French Cave. Can you read the legends somewhere? Many greetings from Angela Budde

Hello Angela,
unfortunately I don't know. I only know the old traditions that were told by grandparents, parents or acquaintances.
