Top 11 Caves ノイシュテッテンでの

The cave in the Rommel Valley was probably excavated between 1870 and 1880 by tree nursery teacher Wilhelm Knauss for geological research. He owned a considerable collection of rocks, which he regularly showed to Tübingen students.

Nice little cave right next to the Seltenbach stream. When there is a lot of water in the stream, the stones that you have to climb over are washed away.

In the past, the "Pommerlesloch" was relatively difficult to find because the area around it was quite overgrown. (As of 2020)

After the clearing, the path is easier to navigate. A fallen tree damaged the fence. However, the entrance is still securely locked.

After a storm in the autumn, a tree fell on the fence surrounding the shaft cave. The fallen trees were removed. Now a wide path leads from the hiking trail to the Pommerlesloch, the entrance to which is still firmly locked.

Currently in a pitiful state. The steel guardrails have been extremely damaged either by a felled tree or by a piece of work equipment.

The Pommerlesloch is a shaft cave and one of the most important caves in the Muschelkalk zone in the Upper Gäu. It is about 51m deep and is said to have taken its unusual name from a dachshund named Pommerle who once fell into it.

Great valley with the 207m long Seven Valleys Cave. Not easy to walk through. Very low and slippery in places. Helmet is a good idea. You can't do it without a lamp. Really exciting for children. It's impossible to get lost.
