Top 20 Caves 지그마링겐 주변

The Burgweg leads upwards from the old town. At the crest of the mountain spur, a signposted footpath branches off to the left, leading down to the Göpfelstein Cave. An information board is located at the cave entrance. The cave is freely accessible. The Göpfelstein Cave is located at an elevation of 660 m above sea level at the western exit of Veringenstadt, to the right above the Lauchert River and the old town. The entrance faces south and is visible from afar, set in a massive White Jurassic rock. The cave has a spacious vestibule. Behind the vestibule lies the three-meter-wide and three-meter-high entrance to the actual cave, which leads into the interior of the rock on two levels. The upper, more spacious section of the cave is seven meters long, seven meters wide, and five meters high. The lower section has a similar floor area and a height of approximately 1.20 meters. When Neanderthals occupied the Göpfelstein Cave, the cave had only one level. Only after the last Ice Age did a false ceiling collapse, opening access to the upper cave level. 34 caves are known around Veringenstadt.

It is a very idyllic place where you can take a break

Nice climbing, but be careful not to break anything!

great cave a must.

Do this tour slowly, otherwise you might miss a lot.

Arrived just in time, as the cave should no longer be entered from October onwards as it serves as a winter quarters for animals.

It's worth making a detour here. It's a really beautiful place.
