Tips

The Hollow-Ley cave offers a shelter, especially during winter time, among other bats and cross spiders. Please note that the bat protection starts on the 1st of October and ends on the 31st of March. During this period, it is prohibited by law to enter caves, grottos, bunkers, galleries and other potential hibernation dwellings for bats.

Since there is practically no light in these caves, there are hardly any green plants to be found inside. Only a few mosses and lichens limit their growth to the entrance area. The caves go about 12 meters into the mountain, but are not accessible to visitors.

"One day we throw off the "light" rucksacks and climb a steep path, through fields of wild garlic in bloom, up the slope to the Hohl-Ley cave; called "Gateway to the Underworld" because there are many animals in the grotto system, quite a few are named bat species, find sanctuary.”
