    Entrance to an underground path on the Hollandskopf mountain. Accessible via a narrow path on the mountain slope. Surefootedness required.

    According to internet research, this is a fissure cave made of limestone. According to a legend, it was used by the first Christians in this area to protect themselves from attacks by the pagans. It seems to be the entrance to a long tunnel to Herford (?).
