Top 5 Caves シェーンヴァルトでの

The underground passage has a total length of 185 meters. The tunnel was last used as a vegetable cellar.

I think that this cellar belonged to the former mill or the village.

Can be used as shelter in bad weather. For adults in a bent position.

A bit hidden, so easy to miss.

The Cellar Hill and a Cellar Hollow contain several 19th-century rock cellars. The earth and rock cellars are important ecological structural elements of nature conservation, but also symbols of local building tradition and stonemasonry. In addition, as artificially created caves, they bear witness to the geological conditions in the rocky landscape of the Fichtelgebirge. Rock cellars were of great importance for storing food, such as potatoes. They are mostly abandoned, partly dilapidated monuments of the agricultural landscape. Barely used cellars are well-known habitats for animals (winter quarters of bats) and small biotopes in near-natural surroundings.

Reminds of the old rock cellars that used to be common everywhere.
