Top 10 Caves ヴァラースハイムでの

Beautiful!! A few experienced climbers went up the steep wall

I would recommend just reading the information board and not climbing up to the rock with the small caves. You can catch a glimpse of the barred cave entrances, but that's all.

The Gerolsteiner Dolomiten nature reserve is located in the Vulkaneifel district in Rhineland-Palatinate in the area of the town of Gerolstein and the municipality of Pelm. The area, which consists of two parts, extends north of the main town of Gerolstein on both sides of the L 29 state road. You can also climb here.

The Hohl-Ley Caves, the gateway to the underworld, as the informative sign on site calls these bat caves and informs about the biodiversity that is found there. The climb is steep, and the cave entrances have a grille to protect the animals. Still, it's worth taking a look inside.

"One day we throw off the "light" rucksacks and climb a steep path, through fields of wild garlic in bloom, up the slope to the Hohl-Ley cave; called "Gateway to the Underworld" because there are many animals in the grotto system, quite a few are named bat species, find sanctuary.” https://www.komoot.de/tour/780244919

Well accessible cave. It is very good to see how the millstones were worked out. A good headlamp is recommended so that your hands are free to take pictures. I personally found the cell phone camera too dark

The trail leads to the 'Buchenloch Cave' which lies at the far edge of the Munterley Plateau. This was created 1.8 million years ago from a millimeter-wide crack in the rock massif and was used by people in the Neolithic Age 300,000 years ago.
