ビルツィングスレーベン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The cozy restaurant serves Thuringian specialties. There is a snack bar with outdoor seating. Here you can wait with a drink and a little something to eat until the tours of the cave begin.

The Barbarossa Cave covers 13,000 square meters and is one of only two existing show caves in the world, made of anhydrite rock, making it a geological rarity. The unique charm of this magical subterranean world lies in the uniquely beautiful, multi-layered play of colors of the white to gray rock.

The Thuringian Gate is the name given to the breakthrough of the Unstrut near Sachsenburg in Thuringia. With a great view of the pretty railway viaduct.

Please keep the environment clean.

The Barbarossa Cave was discovered purely by chance in December 1865 by miners searching for copper slate and was opened to the public as a show cave just two weeks later. On the approximately 800 m long, exciting journey of discovery through Barbarossa's underground kingdom full of wonders and secrets, you will experience earth's history with all your senses and at the same time learn a lot of interesting things about Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa and the old legend that surrounds him. Be enchanted by huge, expansive cavities and crystal-clear, shimmering blue-green lakes with their breathtaking ceiling reflections. Spectacular and unique in the world: In the “tannery”, bizarrely curved “plaster rags” over a meter long hang down from the ceiling, reminiscent of hides and hides hung up to dry. The cave rock anhydrite (CaSO4) absorbs the high humidity like a sponge and thereby transforms itself into gypsum.

A highlight in the region around the Kyffhäuser, it is secured with heavy equipment.

In contrast, everything is in order in Pisa. In 1908, 500 m from the church, a rupture occurred due to the leaching of near-surface gypsum horizons with the formation of a sinkhole. This event began a rapid tilting of the church, caused by the strong subsidence of masses of earth and the disruption of the water drainage in the immediate vicinity. Another instability is the Elisabeth spring, a spring of medicinal water that has been known since the Middle Ages and which emerges from the ground in the immediate vicinity of the church. The church was closed in 1908 out of concern for the safety of churchgoers. Today the top of the tower is 4.60 meters off the vertical.

The Barbarossa Cave is one of two accessible anhydrite caves in the world and the only anhydrite show cave in Europe.
