"Cave with finds of prehistoric time."

Rock formation and caves listed as Geotope 472R118 / 472R119 as well as "Devil's Well Cave" C 163a Cave Cave and "Devil's Cave" Cave Cave 163b.
The rock formation is located directly east of the state road and is bushy overgrown in the lower area. The entrances are during the growing season from the street not immediately apparent.

The Teufelsbrunnenhöhle or Teufelsloch is directly at ground level next to the road behind a few bushes. At the entrance, it is first about 3 m vertically down and from there about 20 m in the mountain. The descent is difficult, without grippy ledges, completely mossy and extremely slippery. Unfortunately, I was alone there with no rope, I stopped the project for safety reasons, had reservations to come back up there. A pity, but there is no cellphone; in extreme cases, you end up there as a skeleton right next to the road.

The Devil's Cave is about 8 meters above the Devil's Hole and is a bit difficult to reach from the Devil's Hole, starting directly along the cliff and up through the shrubbery; a path is barely recognizable.
The Devil's Cave is about 20 m deep walkable and still active with the formation of sinter. A large truncated cone of a Stalakmite presses into the photo.

We didn't find the Teufelsloch particularly spectacular, but it's great for refreshment.
The Teufelsbrunnen, on the other hand, surprised us - there is a beautiful little pond ("fountain") inside.
The descent, however, is tricky, you should already have climbing skills as you won't find the holds straight away.
The steps are all super slippery, so make sure you have a good grip.
Under no circumstances should you descend alone so that someone can call for help in an emergency.
It is definitely adventurous.
