Top 20 Caves ニーダーシュレッテンバッハでの

The Buchkammerfels is located in the foothills of the Heidenberg, south of the Drachenfels castle ruins and southeast of the municipality of Busenberg. It is a special cultural monument, also known as the Heidenkammern (Heathen Chambers). The origin and function of the three artificially created, inaccessible rock chambers are still not fully understood. However, it is assumed that they were either outposts or guard posts for Drachenfels Castle, or that the chambers served as a prison for the castle.

Beautiful and assured paths in the Dahn Rock Country.

The Buchkammerfels is accessible from the mountain. After crossing a crevice, you can walk almost to the very top, from where you have a beautiful view, including views of Drachenfels Castle. The entrance to the eponymous chambers is located eight meters above the ground on a small ledge on the almost vertical north face of the rock. With a little practice, you can also climb up here without safety equipment. However, this is not without danger, especially the descent. If in doubt, take a look at my photos. There are four chambers and a few peepholes, three of which face the south side.
