Top 20 Caves 힌터와일러 주변

🧭 Briefly at the Dreimühlen waterfall 🌊💙 Small wooden cross attached... Maybe pause for a moment...each in their own way... It's good for the soul 💚🙏🏼 Nice photo motif also 📸

Such rock overhangs are called abri. They are so-called semi-caves, which people liked to use in the Stone Age. In contrast to a cave with a rather narrow entrance, they allow overview of the terrain and escape possibilities. Such demolition sites are important research sites for archeology, as Stone Age tools and food remains can be found here.

You don't have to go directly on the path to the waterfall but a few steps up to discover this "cave". A wooden cross stands in a small depression.

Small cavity in the rock just below the ruins on the way to the waterfall. There is also a cross embedded in the rock...

Well accessible cave. It is very good to see how the millstones were worked out. A good headlamp is recommended so that your hands are free to take pictures. I personally found the cell phone camera too dark

The trail leads to the 'Buchenloch Cave' which lies at the far edge of the Munterley Plateau. This was created 1.8 million years ago from a millimeter-wide crack in the rock massif and was used by people in the Neolithic Age 300,000 years ago.

The Nerother Kopf is an extinct volcano of recent date. It was formed about 15,000 years ago when the earth broke up here and glowing magma welled up from the depths of the earth. At that time, a fracture zone formed in the earth rock, which formed the origin of the volcanic chain "West Eifel". https://www.neroth.de/tourismus/nerother-kopf

The Millstone Cave is located at the summit of the Neroth Head, a wooded hill of volcanic origin east of Neroth. The entrance is just below the Freudenkoppe castle ruins at an altitude of about 640 m and can be reached via a hiking trail. The cave is 18 meters deep and its vault up to 10 meters high. It is walkable, but unlit (torch required). Wikipedia
