a cave with many stairs leading deep down

Rock Gate Unteremmendorf The “Torfelsen” castle stables are located high above Unteremmendorf. The old entrance to the castle probably led via the naturally formed rock gate. The 25 meter deep accessible cave in the rock bank was included in the castle complex, as was a second cave 15 meters further west. The three castles “Torfelsen”, “Saufelsen” and “Hubertusfelsen” of the Emmendorf family, an Eichstätt family of servants, go back to three lines of the family that had different coats of arms.

If you come from Kratzmühlsee you have a source right at the beginning of the section. The water comes straight from the mountain. The ivy outside the spring makes it very idyllic.

You can't get particularly deep into the cave, but for children it's pure adventure 😊. The Felsentor is impressive. It's amazing what nature can come up with. A nice photo opportunity!

A stream in the middle of the forest so you wouldn't expect it

Really idyllic, but also insidious. In some places it gets so narrow that if you're not careful you'll either fall into the creek or down the embankment. The latter happened to me. 😅 Because the ground just slipped away from under your feet when you performed.

easy to reach on foot via a few steps down from the Panoramaweg, mega rock gate

Impressive caves for which the steep climb is worthwhile! If you hike further from there, you can enjoy many beautiful views of the Altmühltal 👍
