Top 6 Caves ヒッティザウでの

The Hölloch is the 77-meter-deep entrance shaft into a 12,900-meter-long karst cave. It is not open to tourists. From the top, you can see a few meters into the shaft, but nothing more. The Hölloch is located in the Bavarian part of the Mahdtal valley, in the municipality of Oberstdorf.

The path to the cave and the short detour to the waterfall are a real highlight in themselves. Wildly romantic and pure adventure, surefootedness required.

Generously cordoned off, so that you can only guess at the cave rather than see it. Still impressive.

The "Rappenfluh" near Hittisau, an interesting rock labyrinth in the forest. There is a lot to discover, narrow paths, cave-like passages. Older children have fun. Paths not suitable for strollers. Good footwear required

The treasure hole is a cave in the towering Nagelfluh rocks. At the entrance you can still walk upright, but then the ceiling comes closer and closer. After 10 meters, the cave turns left and goes another 25 meters into the mountain. You can only get there by crawling, depending on your height. The rocks were last used in 1647 as a refuge by the villagers. The highlight position is currently the only access to the valley basin, as a fence separates a pasture at the lower end and the rocks cannot be climbed without hooves. The boiler can then be walked about 250 m and the seclusion can be enjoyed. The treasure hole itself is on the western flank about 50 m after the entrance to the valley basin.

The cave can only be entered completely with a guide. Mud-proof shoes and helmets are recommended. Never go in without light and knowledge of the location.
