Top 5 Caves ヴァイスドルフでの

According to legend, the Querkela lived in the Quarkloch. To this day, it is not clear whether the Quarkloch is a crevice in the rock or the beginning of a mining tunnel. The entrance is still clearly visible, but after five meters the cave is blocked by rubble and earth. There have been repeated attempts to uncover the cave, but this has not happened to date. The Quarkloch has managed to preserve its mystical existence.

The quark hole is located vertically above the information board. The path zigzags upwards. The 50 m sign has fallen off at the bend. Go left there.

In the meantime, the Querkala has been painted in bright colors. There are some pictures of the quarry next door in the gallery, which is wrong.

Earth and rock cellars were built in the Fichtel Mountains to store potatoes, turnips, beer and meat. The cellars are important ecological structural elements of nature conservation, but also symbols of building tradition and stonemasonry. In addition, as artificially created caves, they bear witness to the geological conditions in the rocky landscape of the Fichtelgebirge.

The Cellar Hill and a Cellar Hollow contain several 19th-century rock cellars. The earth and rock cellars are important ecological structural elements of nature conservation, but also symbols of local building tradition and stonemasonry. In addition, as artificially created caves, they bear witness to the geological conditions in the rocky landscape of the Fichtelgebirge. Rock cellars were of great importance for storing food, such as potatoes. They are mostly abandoned, partly dilapidated monuments of the agricultural landscape. Barely used cellars are well-known habitats for animals (winter quarters of bats) and small biotopes in near-natural surroundings.

Definitely recommended for little explorers.

Have set up garden gnomes everywhere on the way there and it is nice to hike, - but the quark hole is only a small hole (I guess it was filled up). According to the legend, the cave should be really big and I wanted to get in there "sometime" (with equipment), - but after 2 m it is already done ...
