Top 11 Caves ワイルドデックでの

Here you can really explore the karst landscape. Information boards explain the geological structure of the karst and the Vogelherd Cave. The brave can also explore a look inside the cave.

The Vogelherd cave is a long, horizontal, narrow passage. So far, around 15 m has been explored. The cave offers shelter and sleeping space to around 20 different species of animals all year round.

Narrow forest paths, partly short steep sections and steps to the Vogelherdhöhle with Goldmarie and Pechmarie. You can avoid the paths via wide, light gravel paths (but who wants that 🙈). Very well signposted!

Inconspicuous, with the wooden gate around it, you drive past it quickly.

Since November 2020, there have again been two hibernation quarters for rare bats (Greater mouse-eared bat and Bechstein's bat) in the former mine tunnels on the Ölberg near Nentershausen. The tunnels were fitted with bat grates and can be seen very well from the path leading past. One quarter is located directly at the junction to the Bergmannspfad, the second about 100 m above (signposted in the direction of Solz).

The closed hole is the natural monument "Hilmeser Loch". The last depth measured in 2018 by the Cave Research Club Bad Hersfeld e.V. was about 20 m. Reports from the 19th century by Carl Trautvetter (first explorer) spoke of a length of 100 - 150 m. Source: S.Gress

A place with many information boards that explain a lot.

The Hilmeser Loch is a shaft cave created by landslides in the limestone on the Landecker Berg. The burglar funnel is secured with a wooden railing. The cave was created by the cave research club Bad Hersfeld e. V. has been documented in the past and freed from rubbish and rubbish several times together with the volunteer fire brigade. The approx. 20 meter deep cave is designated as a natural monument and a particularly protected habitat for bats, for example, as winter quarters.
