Top 8 Caves ボッテンヴィルでの

After rock shedding was discovered near the Column Grotto in the fall of 2022, the municipality carried out various investigation and remediation work. During this time, the sandstone cave was closed. The investigation and remediation work has since been completed. Thus, there is essentially no longer any safety risk while in and around the Column Grotto. Every effort has been made to prevent any further rock shedding. However, a residual risk of natural hazards cannot be completely ruled out.

Unfortunately, access to the quarry has been prohibited since this spring due to rockfall danger😢😭😢😭😢

Currently not accessible due to rockfall

Was no longer easily accessible in the meantime, but is now fully accessible again (March 2025)

Exciting place, also for children. They shouldn't be too small. There is a bit of climbing and you should bring good light.

Heideloch, or Heidechuchi, is a rock crevice that can be crawled through. Fixed iron handholds provide the necessary support. A few meters south of Heideloch, you'll find the Flädermus-Stübli. This cave is about 20 meters long and about 10 meters deep.

Sandstone was mined here for a long time. Be careful when visiting, the area is on the edge of the shooting range. The caves are not accessible when shooting is on! Here is some useful information about sandstone mining in Staffelbach. https://sandsteinmuseum.ch/

The area was cordoned off when we visited, so it was really just for pictures, sadly.
