Top 12 Caves 루돌슈타트 주변

The cave is a chamber structure and houses 14 free-standing columns and 8 partially carved support columns and is about 160 square meters in size. In winter, bats, butterflies and moths hibernate in this cave.

Nice little cave, but you shouldn't be afraid of 🕷🕸 😬.

A really interesting cave. You have to walk a little bent over at the entrance, but you can stand up again in the cave. If you like caves, you should visit the Rothentaler Felsenhöhlen near Kahla. They are a little smaller, but still very worth seeing.

Because of these events, Felix Gebser and some other local friends began excavating stonewood between 1953 and 1955; Unfortunately unsuccessful. After further excavations on the Schenkhopfberg, a large cavity was found, but not the cave and the search was resignedly stopped. It was not until the spring of 1957 that another attempt was made. Felix Gebser, Lothar Großkunze, Reinhardt Erdmann, Rüdiger Pöttgen and a few young people were initially there. After the initial success was achieved again, the first two continued digging alone. This time, however, the entrance to the cave was found. After scratch marks left by cave bears were discovered on walls, a close collaboration was established with the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Weimar. The initial enthusiasm was dampened when no archaeologically valuable finds could be made even at a depth of 20 meters. The two local researchers worked for months, alone in their free time and with the simplest tools, into the cave, which was filled almost to the ceiling with material.

Impressive, you have to see it if you are near here

We visited the cave because the border of the former principality of Schwarzburg Rudolstadt passes by it. There are still many beautiful landmarks to be found there.

Not easy to find, best to go there from above.

Interesting cave! Signage there very bad / not available. I wouldn't have gotten there without Komoot. I walked further up over the Schillerhöhe and arrived there after a while. Then everything back again because I didn't see any other way (back to the Riviera).
