Because the cave is very hidden, it is an ideal retreat for bats.

A small but beautiful viewing pavilion

Only known to insiders

Beautiful wooden bridge that blends harmoniously into the landscape.

Even from below, you can see how the pavilion sits enthroned on the rock. It's also a beautiful view from the path below.

This cave serves as a bat roost. It's somewhat hidden and unmarked. If you're unfamiliar with the area, you won't find it.

Beautifully landscaped lake with play areas for children and parents.

The Burgweg leads upwards from the old town. At the crest of the mountain spur, a signposted footpath branches off to the left, leading down to the Göpfelstein Cave. An information board is located at the cave entrance. The cave is freely accessible. The Göpfelstein Cave is located at an elevation of 660 m above sea level at the western exit of Veringenstadt, to the right above the Lauchert River and the old town. The entrance faces south and is visible from afar, set in a massive White Jurassic rock. The cave has a spacious vestibule. Behind the vestibule lies the three-meter-wide and three-meter-high entrance to the actual cave, which leads into the interior of the rock on two levels. The upper, more spacious section of the cave is seven meters long, seven meters wide, and five meters high. The lower section has a similar floor area and a height of approximately 1.20 meters. When Neanderthals occupied the Göpfelstein Cave, the cave had only one level. Only after the last Ice Age did a false ceiling collapse, opening access to the upper cave level. 34 caves are known around Veringenstadt.
