Top 19 Caves ネーエンシュテッテンでの

The Fohlenhaus Stone Age Cave in the Lone Valley is a fascinating destination for nature and history enthusiasts. This impressive karst cave once served as a shelter for Stone Age people and today offers a glimpse into times long past. With its distinctive shape and special charm, it exudes a sense of mysticism.

Following in the footsteps of the Neanderthals, caves and the archaeological park can be discovered and visited. Stone Age people such as the Neanderthals lived in the caves in the Lone Valley. They roamed around and hunted Ice Age animals such as the mammoth. If you want to get a little closer to the Neanderthals, hike from Lindenau through the forest to the Bockstein Cave, which lies on a rocky spur above the valley. The Neanderthals would also have liked the wide view to keep an eye out for prey. The next destination is the Hohlenstein on the edge of the valley floor. Here archaeologists discovered the legendary "Lion Man", a figure carved from mammoth ivory. The caves are therefore a UNESCO World Heritage site. The route continues along the river to the Vogelherd Archaeological Park. Here you can try out Ice Age hunting techniques for yourself. Via Stetten and through the forest, you return to Lindenau.

Many paths meet here, great views of the cave.

The Lone almost never has water these days (except at the sewage treatment plants), but things were different when I was a child in the 70s, when it had water very often! I don't know why that is like that???

Nice valley for hiking

A beautiful valley, the Lone can hardly be called a river anymore, but this is the perfect hiking spot, especially with children. However, I would classify it more as a place for (family) walks.

A wonderful hike that children should also enjoy. Already the caves and the forest nature trail, then to the Geopark. The day is saved.

Nice hike with young children
