    The Kesslerloch is a cave visited in prehistoric times at Thayngen in the canton of Schaffhausen in Switzerland. It is located in the Herblinger valley on the southeastern foot of the Reiat plateau. The cave is about 200 m² in size and is divided by a stone column. Reindeer hunters presumably used v. 15,000 to 11,000 years ago. The cave as a place of protection during the summer months (Upper Paleolithic, Magdalenian culture). The location in a narrow valley was also favorable for a hunting station, similar to the location of the Petersfels.
    The cave was placed under state protection with the forest property and the surrounding meadowland in 1902.
