Top 6 Caves ビューエーティゲンでの

Creux-Seupi is a cave entrance located in the Chasseral Natural Park in Switzerland. It is a popular destination for hikers who want to explore the underground wonders of the region. It is a karst cave formed by the dissolution of limestone by water over millions of years. It has a depth of approximately 100 meters and a length of approximately 500 meters. The cave is home to various species of bats, such as the greater horseshoe bat, lesser horseshoe bat, and common pipistrelle. The cave is also rich in speleothems, mineral deposits that develop in caves, such as stalactites, stalagmites and flowstones. Creux-Seupi is a fascinating place to discover the hidden beauty and diversity of nature.

Short but beautiful bike descent from the Chutzeturm via the hidden trails to the sandstone caves of Lobsigen and on to Aarberg.

Very cool sandstone caves that invite you to linger. It has fireplaces and some tables and benches.

At this point there is a sandstone pit, which can be accessed from the back through a tunnel. In the pit there is a fireplace and various wooden chairs made from tree trunks. In the summer a shady place to grill. "You enter the pit through a tunnel that the users once excavated. Mining began in the 16th century. At that time, a lot of millstones were needed, a pit near Oberramsern could no longer meet the demand. This was the decision of the Great Council of Solothurn In 1527 a local miller was commissioned to quarry stone near Ober Bockstein on its land. After a few years, however, the miller gave up, as it turned out that his sandstone was too soft for millstones. In 1777, operations resumed in the Upper Bockstein Bockstein-Grube. Above all stove plates were now made from the sandstone. The last stone carver, the "Grubendurs", lived with his wife, the "Grubenänni" until 1890 on site, where the two had set up makeshift in a cave-like niche, as stated on the information board."

Always worth a visit - on the way to the Chutzeturm or on the way back :).

In the 16th century, millstones were broken in "Ober Bockstein" for a few years. However, these rather soft sandstones were not particularly suitable as grinding stones. The grounds have not been exploited in the Fogle for centuries. Only in 1977 stones were broken again and from 1847 these beautiful stones were only hewn as stove plates. The last Steinhauser, the "Grubendurs", lived with his wife, the "Grubenänni" until his death in 1890 in the pit, which was poorly furnished.

The high, Europe-wide demand for millstones in the 16th century evidently had a major impact on this region. There are some quarries in the area, which were of importance for the economic development. For example, the stone pit in Schnottwil (www.komoot.de/highlight/1096515)
