Top 19 Caves 와멘슈타이나흐 주변

A lovely spot, even if you're there outside of opening hours. Thanks to the gate, you can see the beginning of the tunnel. There are benches, a fountain, a hut, and a gold panning area all around.

An exciting cave beneath the Prince's Rock, partially walled, with seating and a fireplace. It was probably a former shelter used by forestry workers or hunters.

If you're in the area, you should definitely visit this highlight. Not only is the descent down the metal stairs spectacular, but walking through the rock formation is also a real experience! A few hundred meters further on, the view from the Prince's Rock is worth it. The climb up the rather steep stairs and the view from the top is a real experience!

That's a highlight with an interesting story. He was a dog, the Schmiedmatzengirgel. 😂

Good view of Rauher Kulm, Ochsenkopf and Klausenlift Mehlmeisel. Beautiful rock with steep stairs.

Silver iron was mainly mined in the Gleissinger Fels. The mine looks back on a 500-year history and is the only accessible silver iron mine in the world. Some of the deeper mining sites can be explored, provided they are not filled with water. During the regular tours on an easily accessible floor of the mine, you can wear a mining helmet and go into hand-mined tunnels that are over 500 years old. Everything sparkles and glitters - the shiny ore on the walls shows the way. Visitors can be inspired by the unique mining atmosphere, the underground waterfall and great stories.

The rock groups of the Girgel Cave (some also say Girgel Cave) in the Tröstauer Forest are classified as a landscape protection area of the Fichtelgebirge Nature Park and as a geotope of granite blocks with cotton grass weathering. A marking with white arrows leads from the back exit through a tangle of rocks and rock groups, which reminds a little of the Luisenburg labyrinth, but of course cannot keep up in size.
