Tips

At the foot of the Sirgensteinfelsen on the left side of the valley of the Ach you will find a cave with a wide overhanging entrance. Inside, a tube-like low corridor leads to a dome hall with two small ceiling openings that provide daylight. The cave is over 40 meters long. Due to her idiosyncratic form she conveys a special cave feeling to the visitor.

The cave and the sunny forecourt were used by the Neanderthal man and later also by the modern man.

Rarely found in Europe sites that have been visited over so long a period, in this case, certainly over 60,000 years, again and again by people.

The last accessible cave in Blaubeuren, for how long?
