ギュンゼルスドルフの天然記念物・トップ20

約3000年前にバーデン地域に住んでいた人々は、いわゆる「ケーニヒスヘーレ」（王の洞窟）周辺で行われたセンセーショナルな発見により、「バーデン文化」と呼ばれていました。

バート・ヴェスラウのクアパーク（Kurpark）は19世紀末に造られ、湯治客のための中心的な散策・保養ゾーンとして機能しました。それはベンチに囲まれた「野外劇場」へと発展し、ヨーゼフ2世（1901年）やフランツ・ヨーゼフ1世（1913年）の記念碑などの歴史的建造物によって特徴づけられました。

The Antonsgrotte opposite the Cholera Chapel in Helenental is a popular destination. The place of worship, always decorated with candles, now has another attraction. Bird feeding is carried out there with particular passion, and indeed: the birds eat a lot and happily. BADEN. Bird feeding at the Antonsgrotte is a tradition. Elisabeth Werkmann - she has been looking after the Antonsgrotte for five years - took over this task last year from her predecessor, who suddenly dropped out.

Great view over the pines to the Schneeberg and the surrounding mountains.

The network of promenades dates back to Archduke Anton (1779–1835), who had it built in the years up to 1829. The highlight was the Antonsgrotte, which stands roughly opposite the Cholera Chapel, which did not yet exist at the time. The approximately 2.2 km long section of the Helenental from Antonsbrücke to Antonsgrotte is therefore called Antonstal. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helenental

The Antonsgrotte is located on the Wegerl in the Helenental, near the cholera chapel.

10/02/2022 - Near the former Rauheneck Castle, which together with the Rauhenstein controlled the entrance to the picturesque Helenental near Baden, lies the bizarre royal cave, which was already inhabited in the Neolithic Age (2200 to 1800 BC). Archaeological excavations made such important finds that the entire period is called the "Baden culture". The presence of humans in the La Tène and Hallstatt periods has also been proven; individual finds date from Roman times and the Middle Ages. Just listing the scientific publications about the cave fills a whole book page. It is not surprising that there are many legends about the cave. King Bela IV of Hungary is said to have sought refuge there, and there are also reports of evil dwarves and wild people. Here and there, the royal cave still serves as a bivouac site, as some traces in the natural monument show.
