Top 20 Caves ビッツでの

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.

It is a very idyllic place where you can take a break

One can easily imagine that Stone Age people lived here

great cave a must.

It's worth making a detour here. It's a really beautiful place.

Unfortunately, I don't know (yet) whether the term has real or probable historical references or whether it just comes from the imagination of (medieval) people and is used today as a 'scary marketing gimmick', so to speak. Be that as it may: A quaint, peculiar place that can be explored by young and old...

The witch's kitchen is said to have been here in the past. The witches were protected from the rain by the overhanging rock.

Big opening. Former living cave in the white Jura.
