It looks more like the entrance to "hell".

The Schächerloch (Rogue's Hole) The name of this natural crevice cave comes from "Schächer," an old term for "robber" or "murderer." It is a natural monument and belongs to the municipality of Esselbach. The entrance leads about four meters into the cave. Passages continue to the left and right, but these are now mostly filled in. According to old accounts, there used to be a large, domed chamber and a watercourse in the cave after about 70 meters. Caves made of red sandstone are rare and exert a special attraction. This is also evidenced by a vast cycle of legends surrounding the Schächerloch. The folklorist Barbara Grimm once counted 105 legends. For example, Emperor Charles IV is said to have been hidden here on his journey to Canossa, and during the Thirty Years' War, the rest of the Steinmark population is said to have survived here, while a Swedish horseman is said to have perished here (hence the name "Schwedenloch" - "Swedish Hole"). The Schächerloch (Rogue's Hole) is known as a place of treasure hunts with disastrous outcomes and as the abode of monsters, stalkers, and giants. Furthermore, a mountain spirit is said to dwell here with a yew tree and a gray bird. Using a twig from this yew as a divining rod, one can supposedly find all the treasures of the world. This extraordinary array of stories could also indicate that the Schächerloch was once a cult site. Stone axe finds certainly point to a prehistoric significance.

Interesting

It's slippery down into the depths of the Spessart forest here... Be careful at the leafy drop-off... it's quite fluffy.

In the year 753, St. Burkardus, founder and first bishop of the diocese of Würzburg, died in this stalactite cave.

small cave above Niklashausen

The cave is no longer very close - but nice to look at
