Top 20 Caves 가메르팅겐 주변

Great route for everyone... but you're probably rarely alone here

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

great cave a must.

Dimension: ~ Size: 6 m long, 7 m wide, 2 m high The natural monument - also called the summer church, the cave at the Sommerkirchhalde or the Sommerkirch cave - is a rock overhang and once served as a dwelling for Stone Age people, which was proven by animal bones (including reindeer, cave bear and rhinoceros), shards and stone tools found during test excavations in the 1940s. 🤩👍

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

a hill where Stone Age people lived.

The Bear Cave is a stalactite cave. It consists of the Karlshöhle, discovered in 1834, and its continuation, the Bear Cave, discovered in 1949. It owes its name to the numerous skeletons of cave bears that were found in it. Several skulls and bones as well as a restored bear skeleton can be viewed in the cave. https://hoehlen.sonnenbuehl.de/baerenhoehle.html
