Top 20 Caves 니더작센

Hermitage with easy access and rest area with 2 former fish ponds

The Rothestein Cave is a special highlight here. It's open from April to September. The climb is probably not suitable for everyone. Maybe I'm too tall for it. 😅

The story of the Rothestein Cave is interesting and exciting!

Very beautiful cave. Was converted into a church 1000 years ago. Worth seeing.

History Count Friedrich VI of Spiegelberg, who had been sovereign of the County of Pyrmont since 1525, built a fortress with a residential building on top in the valley of Pyrmont between 1526 and 1536. As early as 1512, he had the ancestral seat of the Counts of Spiegelberg in Coppenbrügge converted into a contemporary fortress based on the Italian model. He used the experience he gained to build a fortress in Pyrmont as well. The almost square complex covered four and a half hectares and was surrounded by a 30 to 40 meter wide moat, a moat. The earth that accrued when digging the moat was piled up to build the castle wall with casemates incorporated into it. In the north, where the fortress was most vulnerable to attack, a small stone corner bastion was built. The entrance to the fortress was only accessible via a wooden drawbridge and the entrance tunnel was.

The café in the castle courtyard is not as busy during the week, so you can better enjoy the view of the park.

Tip: small café in the castle courtyard with a view of the spa gardens. Relax and enjoy.

Great rock formation with a historical background. Can only be recommended.
