Top 13 Caves ホルン・バート・マインバーグでの

The largest cave in Lippe is the Hohlsteinhöhle, which is 47 m high and 185 m long. A cave beetle that does not exist anywhere else in the world has also lived here since the last ice age. 👍

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 largest cave in the district of Lippe, with up to 50m height (rock crevices)

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..."
