Top 19 Caves ポレンフェルトでの

Around Kinding, at the entrance to the Altmühl Valley, impressive traces of prehistory can be found. In the rocks above the village lie several caves that were already in use by humans in the Stone Age. Finds such as tools, bones, and fireplaces prove that hunters and gatherers found shelter here when the Altmühl Valley was still characterized by ice-age cold. The Felsentor near Kinding is particularly striking, a natural rock bridge formed by millennia of weathering. With its characteristic arched shape, it is one of the region's most famous natural monuments. The Felsentor probably served as a landmark or resting place for early humans and remains a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers today.

The cave is about 25 meters long, 5 meters wide and 14 meters high. You can look inside through the 4 meter wide open chimney in the middle of the cave. The entrance under the plateau is closed. The mammoth fell through the chimney with 33 other animals and was preserved with stone and clay. Animal bones are on display in the Willibalsburg Museum.

Always closed.

‼️Bat winter quarters‼️ Please follow the entry ban between October and the end of March to protect the animals! If bats are woken during hibernation, they use up excessive energy reserves and may starve. Flying out and finding food is only possible again in spring!

location as already described.

Unfortunately, for safety reasons, you cannot enter the cave

Great rock formation right on the bike path, there is a large rock gate next to a hall cave to admire. Should you look at.

The wooden Kling is a chain of rock that was separated by the construction of the railway. Only the front part with the rock gate and cave can be admired via the Altmühltal cycle path, the other rocks of the wooden Kling can be reached if you drive over the tracks at the barrier in Hagenacker and then immediately afterwards turn right up the path along the tracks, then not on the Panoramaweg but always along the tracks. There is the backwater of the Altmühl, also created during the construction of the railway line. There you go directly to the actual wooden Kling. However, in the summer often does not happen too high the grass with nettles.
