Unfortunately collapsed, a look must be enough.
But very enchanted

The Teufelshöhle is located on the western slope of the Pfaffental gorge near Prackenfels. A "metal ladder" leads to the cave itself, the path around the cave is slippery when wet, good shoes are required and caution is required. The Teufelshöhle is an artificially created Räthsandhöhle, the cave consists of a single large room with 56 meters x 52 meters. Its height is about 4.5 meters. Entering the cave is prohibited due to the risk of collapse.

With a good halogen lamp, you can shine a light inside and see the contours. Since the cave is classified as at risk of collapse, I didn't want to explore it further.
