The grotto is somewhat hidden off the path, but the detour is definitely worth it.

The Schächerloch The name of this natural fissure cave comes from "Schächer" as an old term for "robber" or "murderer". It is a natural monument and belongs to the municipality of Esselbach. The entrance leads about four meters deep. To the left and right, passages continue, but most of them are now buried. According to old reports, there used to be a large dome-shaped room and a water flow in the cave after about 70 meters. Caves made of Bundsandstein are rare and have a special attraction. This is also evidenced by a huge circle of legends surrounding the Schächerloch. The folklorist Barbara Grimm once counted 105 legends. Emperor Charles IV is said to have been hidden here on his way to Canossa and the rest of the Steinmark population is said to have survived here during the Thirty Years' War, while a Swedish rider is said to have perished here (hence the name "Schwedenloch"). The Schächerloch is known as a place of treasure hunts with bad outcomes and as a place where monsters, scoundrels and giants live. A mountain spirit is also said to live here with a yew tree and a grey bird. Using a branch of this yew as a divining rod, one can find all the treasures of the world. This extraordinary variety of stories could also be an indication that the Schächerloch was once a place of worship. Stone axe finds certainly indicate prehistoric significance.

The cellar built into the rock served as the beer cellar of the former "Zum Spessart" inn since 1893. Part of the cellar was secured against collapse and renovated in 2011 and 2012. The bars provide a nice, vivid impression.

The Bensenbruch was once a place of refuge during the Second World War where people sought protection.

Googleによる翻訳•原文を表示

Bensenbruch at the end of the Second World War. Since Gailbach and Dörrmorsbach became a combat zone during Holy Week 1945, people took refuge in cellars and tunnels to avoid bombs and grenades. People also sought refuge in the Bensenbruch, an old quarry. An approximately 15 meter long and over 2 meter high room in the form of a cellar vault could accommodate 50 to 60 people.

Bensenbruch Two caves remain from the former Bensenbruch. In the larger one, 50 to 60 people could find shelter during a bomb attack in 1945. The lamprophyre dike is bordered by the basal breccia (Buntsandstein) alternating with siltstones from the crumbly slate series.

Beware of prying eyes... it's a few meters downhill... and it's fluffy at that

The most interesting thing is the legend. Currently, however, there is no longer a sign on which one could read them. The hole is deep enough to be a problem should you slip and get closer to the bottom.

Nice highlight which you don't expect at all at this point. 😊

The Schächerloch is in the municipality of Esselbach in the Spessart. It is a "rift cave in the Sollingsandstein" (BfU website). With the help of MAPS.ME it is easy to find today, without it, it could be difficult. You can actually only see the entrance when you stand directly in front of it. The dimensions given are: L 15 m, W 2 m, H 5 m. According to older legends, however, the cave was once 70 m long, contained a large cave hall and led down to a watercourse. When you stand in front of the black hole, you might wonder how you can get down there. Some call a depth of 2 m, others call it 4 m. Perhaps a tether tied to a nearby tree would be useful. At the bottom you can move in 2 short corridors to the left and right. It goes about 20 m to the left, 8 m to the right. It used to go deeper into the mountain. This is said to have come to a room where 16 people would have had. Treasures were probably dug in the cave again and again and, for example, a stone ax was found. There are many legends related to the cave. Barbara Grimm, a folklorist, counted 105 of them. One relates to Charles IV, who is said to have hidden there on his famous walk to Canossa. During the 30 Years War, the "rest of the Steinmarker population" hid there from the Swedes.
