Top 20 Caves ジンメルスドルフでの

A hiking trail that couldn't have been more beautiful... and apart from a few corners... everything was easy going

The “Klauskirche” The name “Klauskirche” has become established for the passage cave that dominates the rocky reef of the Klauskirchenberg. Actually, this name refers to the entire hallway. Formerly, scientifically proven but missing, there was a “St. Nicholas Chapel” (see Georg Kolbmann, 1973: Betzensteiner historical images”). It is assumed that this chapel is the namesake of the field name “Klauskirchenberg”. The “Klauskirche” is a 32 meter long passage cave. It is built in the reef dolomite of the Upper Malm. The mighty dolomite reefs formed in the Jurassic Sea around 150 million years ago. The weathering process began as the land mass rose and the sea retreated. During the Quaternary karstification phase (within the last 2.4 million years) the cave was formed by leaching of a vertically dipping fissure. This gap is still clearly visible in the ceiling area of the cave. The cave formation took place in what was then the groundwater area. As a result of the progressive deepening of the valley, the “Klauskirche” is now above the karst water level. Source: information board

Romantic, daring and different around every corner.

A sensational area. There is so much to explore. The shapes of the rocks are so versatile. With some you almost hold your breath and think stay where you are and don't fall over.

Impressive natural monument! The passage cave is an absolute highlight on a hike in this beautiful area.

The Hexentor is an almost circular rock breakthrough - great to look at.

Very impressive, quiet quiet place, Here you can see again how beautiful our nature is
