Top 7 Caves 헤텐하우젠 주변

The trail passes this small waterfall and the shelter. Unfortunately, there was trash at the shelter and at this beautiful spot. It's a shame, but that doesn't have to happen! Take your trash with you!

This could have been an "abri", a half-cave, as a shelter for early humans from the Old Stone Age (Paleolithic), the oldest era in human history. It began on our 4.5 billion year old earth around 2 million years ago in East Africa, as evidenced by finds of skulls and bones and primitive tools made of stone and wood. Around 600,000 BC, small groups of Old Stone Age people also appeared in Germany. Based on the greywacke artefacts found here by local historian Albert Westrich, the archaeologist Emil Hofmann determined that they were used as scrapers, striking stones, graters and stingers as early as 600,000-800,000 years ago. His book "Altpaläolithische Fundplätze des Homo erectus heidelbergensis Schmitshausen", published in 2008, depicts the finds.

A real attraction. Take a flashlight with you😀

Did bears really once live here, as they say?

Shaded and covered place for a rest

If you leave the water show path at the "Quellen" sign for a few meters, you will come to a small waterfall. It is one of the many tributaries from hillside springs.

Here is a dwelling place of Stone Age people from the Old Stone Age. Here hand axes, scrapers, knives, hammers and anvils were found.

Class! An almost timely atmosphere, you are just waiting for the prehistoric man from the cave...😉👍🙋‍♂️
