Dark cave; perhaps an introduction to...? Ideal for telling the kids a lovely story 😏

First mentioned in the early 14th century, the Teufelslöcher (Devil's Holes) are among the oldest documented caves in Germany. These are karst caves that have since been sealed. Several benches are located at the Teufelslöcher, and Jena's local history trail begins here, leading from here across the central Kernberg horizontal. You can find more information here: https://www.entdecke-jena.de/jena/teufelsloecher.htm.

the tram stop on Schillstraße is about 1.5 km away..... The exposure there has nothing to do with the devil's holes.

The Teufelslöcher are no longer accessible caves at the foot of the Kernberge - a natural monument that is used today to protect species, e.g. served by bats. There is also a spring here and for runners a decent ascent to the Kernberge begins from here (or a violent descent ends)

The Teufelslöcher are caves at the foot of the Kernberge Mountains in Jena. The rock in which the devil's holes are located is very rich in gypsum.

This little "detour" is worth it. If you leave the yellow hiking trail to the south, after a few meters you will reach a surprisingly quiet spot and the fenced cistern.
