Top 3 Caves ペインターフォレストでの

A worthwhile detour to get a guided tour of the cave. Not the most spectacular, but still with some amazing rock formations. It's chilly inside, so bring appropriate clothing. There's a café/snack bar at the top of the entrance.

The Grundlose Grube > a geotope The Grundlose Grube is less of a sinkhole than a shaft cave. It is an approximately 35 m deep shaft with a 3-4 m wide opening. The funnel-shaped opening lies in the green sandstone; after 6 m, the boundary with the Jurassic limestone is reached. Here, the shaft widens to 7-9 m. From this depth, it narrows increasingly. The floor is filled with loose material. The Grundlose Grube belongs to the karst features of a younger (Quaternary) age. The Grundlose Grube is a bat roost of European importance. To preserve the cave as a year-round habitat, there is a YEAR-ROUND ENTRY BAN! Speleological exploration is possible in individual cases, but requires a special permit. The contact person is the Lower Nature Conservation Authority at the Kelheim District Office. Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU). https://www.umweltatlas.bayern.de/standortauskunft/rest/reporting/sb_geotope/generate?additionallayerfieldvalue=273H002 Further information and images can be found on the website below. https://www.lochstein.de/hoehlen/D/fralb/sfralb/H-Hemau/Grundlose%20Grube/grundlose.htm

The tour through the cave is really interesting and entertaining. When the lights are turned off in the cave, it is completely dark 😃.

Beautiful stalactite cave, unfortunately you are not allowed to take photos. At the end of the tour there is a multimedia show which is very well done.

The Schulerloch stalactite cave is well worth seeing.

Beautiful ascent to the Schulerloch.

Kind of impressive. But be careful, if you fall into this you won't have to order any new shoes

Beautiful stalactite cave with a small museum. The entrance fee is okay, there is a snack bar at the entrance with several shaded seating areas. The tour is varied and interesting, at the end there is a small multimedia show about the cave, well done.
