Top 2 Caves フリーデルスハイムでの

This is where the rebels hid in 1848... today it serves as a shelter at best

The Hohle Fels, occasionally also called Hohler Felsen, in the forest area of the Palatinate town of Deidesheim is a room-sized rock cave that was once used as a temporary residence by people - according to traces of work on the walls. Wikipedia

The lightning tubes are a natural monument in the form of a mineralogical phenomenon in the sandstone wall below the Battenberg castle ruins. The 'lightning tubes' were given their name because the people who lived here initially attributed their formation to lightning strikes.

Absolute recommendation. I saw the flash tubes on ZDF's Terra X. So I wanted to hike and see them myself. Amazing what mother nature creates. ❤️

Super nice view, great different hiking trails

Unfortunately closed due to nature conservation and danger of collapse.

I liked this explanation from the Pfalzmuseum für Naturkunde in DÜW (according to the information board on site) best for this phenomenon: "Water that had dissolved iron-containing substances penetrated the layers of sand. The iron that was carried along was excreted in shells (concentrically) and transformed the loose sand in the area of the deposit into solid sandstone, which can contain up to 30% iron."

I was there yesterday at -5 ° C. It's amazing how much warmer it felt in this artificial cave - even without a fire :-). Otherwise it is a beautiful place and the way there is also very beautiful, especially in winter (narrow hiking trail, of course, pleasant to walk) with a special atmosphere (at least that's how I felt yesterday morning).
