Top 14 Caves アルテンベケンでの

The Bielstein Gorge is a fantastic natural spectacle. It's definitely worth a visit!

The Kellerloch (the Bielstein Cave) is located within the Bielstein Gorge and can only be visited in summer (June to August). That wouldn't really be for me, though. ☺️

The Deposition from the Cross relief is one of the most important medieval works. It is carved into sandstone and, at 4.80 × 3.70 m, is the largest relief in the entire northwestern European region.

The relief of the Descent from the Cross from 1150 is one of the most extraordinary works of art in the area. Given its age, it is well preserved.

"...At the first rock there are also artificial caves and a Descent from the Cross relief carved into the stone. At the second rock you reach a space-like platform via a curved bridge..."

Very nice rock relief, carved into the sandstone, it shows the descent of Jesus Christ from the cross.

With dimensions of 4.80 by 3.70 meters, it is the largest in all of north-western Europe.

Nice little collapse cave in Teuto

On the outer wall of the artificially created cavity, directly in front of the cupola grotto, the 5.5 meter high medieval relief of the Descent from the Cross is hammered into the Externsteine. Above the rectangular door is a cavity, a hollow shape reminiscent of the legs, body and wings of a bird. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externsteine)
