Top 14 Caves ゴッサウでの

The Tivoli Cave in the city of St. Gallen is a small cave in the middle of a beautiful forest. The best way to get there is to take the bus to the "Hagenbuch" stop. Or take the wonderful panoramic path and then descend the Tivoli stairs. Please respect the privacy of the private property there! Continue directly to the right along the small path and DO NOT go left/straight across the small bridge. If you go all the way in (bring a headlamp), you won't get very far. It's almost a bit spooky there. If you look up, you'll see a shaft about 13 meters long that leads straight to the very top. This is where buckets used to be lowered to fetch water. The hole at the top was eventually sealed and covered with earth and no longer exists. Therefore, there was no escape route for the nuns. There used to be a rickety and very rotten wooden ladder here. This has since been removed for safety reasons. It is a man-made cave; clear marks made by tools have been discovered in the rock. The cave is about 17 meters long and between 6 and 7 meters wide. Source: thisismysaintgallen.com/tivolihoehle/

A place worth seeing in St. Gallen, especially for little adventurers.

The caves are exciting and, according to the reservation slip, are often rented for overnight stays. In front of the caves or the impressive Nagelfluhwand, a very cool but sometimes challenging path leads through. Certainly not suitable for everyone under 80 because it also includes a very short climbing section.

A contemplative place to stay for a while

It's simply beautiful here: the large semi-cave, the small waterfall with a pool above it, a small barbecue area with a view of this enchanting backdrop ... I wouldn't have been surprised if Tarzan had swung himself up on a liana.

Going down the path to the caves and climbing spots is really rewarding. Somewhat exposed but accessible to anyone under the age of 80, provided they are sure-footed.

Very worthwhile ravine with a well-developed path and impressive "Hohlen Stein". Steep places are equipped with stairs.
