Top 7 Caves 다이슬링겐 주변

A beautiful, mystical place open to the public and hopefully kept clean by all visitors.

Sinkholes are funnel-shaped depressions in the ground created by the collapse of the overburden into subterranean cavities. The Waltershöhle is one such sinkhole. The shafts were formed when seepage water dissolved the limestone, creating cavities that later collapsed. Although legend has it that the Waltershöhle extends all the way to Rottweil, Walter Bürk, a Schwenningen resident after whom it is named, only managed to penetrate one and a half meters into the sinkhole opening.

Beautifully laid out and well maintained, very nice.

This "Fatima Grotto" carved into the rock is dedicated to the Mother of God. It was named after the town of Fatima in Portugal, where Mary appeared several times to some shepherd children in 1917 (during the First World War). Our Lady revealed three secrets to the children. Pope John Paul II attributed his survival of the assassination attempt on him on May 13, 1981 - the commemoration of the first apparition of the Virgin Mary in Fatima - to Our Lady there. The bullet that almost killed him was later incorporated into the crown of the statue of Our Lady in Fatima as a votive offering.

Lemberg Tower, mega view of the Swiss snow-capped Alps.

Very nice and well-kept grotto. I also found the explanation very successful.

Maidenhole At around 1000 m above sea level. NHN on the northeast slope of Lemberg lies the cave or crevice known as Jungfrauenloch in the White Jurassic rock. The name can be traced back to a local legend. Around the year 1170, the county of Hohenberg, to which the district of Gosheim belonged at the time, and its lord Burkhard I of Habsburg were mentioned for the first time. Around 1230, the future Roman-German King Rudolf I of Habsburg married the daughter of Count Burkhard III of Hohenberg, Gertrudis of Hohenberg. Her loyal Gaus, also known as “Gotso” in Middle High German, carried out the planning tasks and the organization of finances for her. The name of the community of Gosheim is said to have come from Gaus. After marrying Rudolf von Habsburg, Gaus stayed with the countess' niece, Gertrudis von Oberhohenberg, for whom he also managed the business excellently. But the young woman's brother was so angry and jealous about the popularity of Gertrudis and Gotso that he set the castle on fire at night in the absence of Gotso, who was hunting. Only Gertrudis is said to have escaped the terrible fire with all her jewelry and money and is still hidden today in the “Jungfrauenloch”, a deep crevice in the rock on the Lemberg. Only a key word can free her from her captivity to the dark forces. The story of Gertrudis von Oberhohenberg and her loyal friend Gaus is performed every five years as a village play at Fasnet. There are also legends surrounding the so-called “Giant Forest” on the Lembergsattel. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemberg_(Schw%C3%A4bische_Alb)
