Please do not confuse it with the Wolfsschlucht (the one with the stairs). The cave can only be accessed by crawling and is often used as a toilet. But it offers protection when a thunderstorm approaches. ⛈️ Otherwise, it's just a nice sight for runners. But if you have to wait at the narrow Wolfsschlucht, you can make a little detour here.

Cave to crawl into. Beware, some think this is a lavatory.
