Top 10 Caves 엔젠 주변

Hello @TS, your puzzle inspired us. Good thing we always have a headlamp with us! So we went through the gap and around the corner. There is no cave opening up here, but with a bit of goodwill a few people can stand or crouch here. But that certainly wouldn't have been possible for several days or weeks. On the other hand, there are enough hiding places in the rocks...

As soon as I was inside, the rain got much heavier, so I stayed in the cave for a moment. Was that ever the case with Andibonn?🤣🤣🤣

Very refreshing in summer! The tear lay is a lime sinter grotto worth seeing, in which lime deposits have given rise to unusual rock shapes. The explanation for this phenomenon: When rainwater seeps through the thick layer of sandstone on the plateau, it dissolves the calcareous binder that holds the quartz grains of the rock together. Where spring water emerges on slopes and valleys, but also on the banks of streams or rivers, the carbonic acid escapes from the soluble lime compound, the water evaporates and what remains is almost pure limestone. It is called lime sinter or lime tuff. The lime sinter settles along the flow paths of the water and covers mosses and plant parts with a stone crust. This is how fascinating rock shapes are created. The process of tufa formation continues steadily, the rocks "grow" like stalactites. (Source: www.naturpark-suedeifel.de)

a stone overgrown with plants from which water continuously drips.

I have not yet found any useful "historical" information about the Celtic cave, but the following youtube video of two hikers shows how blatantly interesting this section of the trail is! Listen too! Depending on your own level of fitness, the route with stone up and stone down can also be quite challenging! The video is not mine and I don't know the gentlemen. But it fits right here. https://youtu.be/9CS-s1d8YFU

The tear lay is right on the road on the German side near the bridge to Dillingerbrück. Drops of water continuously trickle down from a larger moss-covered rock. It's raining even in the cave. Apparently the whole thing is fed by a stream above. Worth seeing!

Nice spot for a little rest. If you like, you can explore the numerous crevices in the rocks.

The gap is really very narrow. I couldn't find out whether there was a sufficiently large room for several people at the end.
