A super great place that you should see

Beautiful little cave to see

The Steinerne Stadl is a natural rock bridge that originates from a collapsed cave. This is also called a passage cave. Remains of stone tools and ceramics have been found inside the Steinerne Stadel and it is now assumed that this cave also served as a cult room from the Neolithic period to the Iron Age (and possibly later). Its proximity to the Hoffmannshöhle indicates a resonance/connection. In front of the cave you can find a free-standing stone with two deep, artificially created stone bowls. The position and arrangement of the bowls (at the top, in a free-standing stone, so very impractical for grinding grain - without protection from rainwater ...) and their shape give rise to mystical speculations about their use.

The Eisenstein Cave, whose entrances are located at 380 m above sea level, is the most important thermal cave on the western edge of the southern Vienna Basin (Fischau Mountains). The 73 m deep and around 2 km long, shaft-like cave is located on a fracture zone parallel to the slope (thermal line) in young tertiary breccia (sausage marble). The thermal spring at the deepest point of the cave has a temperature of around 15.5 °C. Collapsed blocks and corrosion forms characterize the fissures richly decorated with coral and popcorn sinter.

10/02/2022 - Near the former Rauheneck Castle, which together with the Rauhenstein controlled the entrance to the picturesque Helenental near Baden, lies the bizarre royal cave, which was already inhabited in the Neolithic Age (2200 to 1800 BC). Archaeological excavations made such important finds that the entire period is called the "Baden culture". The presence of humans in the La Tène and Hallstatt periods has also been proven; individual finds date from Roman times and the Middle Ages. Just listing the scientific publications about the cave fills a whole book page. It is not surprising that there are many legends about the cave. King Bela IV of Hungary is said to have sought refuge there, and there are also reports of evil dwarves and wild people. Here and there, the royal cave still serves as a bivouac site, as some traces in the natural monument show.

10/02/2022 - Now in autumn towards the evening there is an unreal atmosphere in the cave, in the dull evening light, in the leafless forest, hardly any colors can be seen here. I enjoy it, take my time taking photos and then climb around the hole in the ceiling above the cave. Great insights and views are the reward.

Good restaurant, invites you to linger.
