The armholes are worth seeing.

The merchant Götz actually only wanted to set up a beautiful mountain garden when he came across this cave. He and his friends investigated the discovered fissure cave and later employed miners from the Ruhr area to develop it further and to cut passages between the crevices and to secure the cracks in the rock. He did not live to see the full expansion, but his widow continued it. The cave is now open to visitors and can be explored on a 40-minute guided tour. Although the cave does not have any outstanding features such as stalactites, it is still worth seeing. The narrow and very high cracks in the rock were created by rock slides towards the Werra valley. The cave is therefore simply an impressive natural spectacle with an interestingly designed guided tour. Unfortunately, the cave has not been able to be explored in the usual way for 3 years now. A landslide in the upper area meant that the upper exit can no longer be used. Instead, you have to struggle up all the stairs and then go back down again straight away. This feels quite bumpy and pointless on the tour... If you decide to visit, you should bring a jacket with you. The temperature in the cave is a constant 8 degrees. The waiting time until the tour is perfect to while away on the terrace, where there are warm dishes and various drinks - all with a wonderful view of Meiningen.

It was still closed but I'll stop by again to take a closer look.

Reinhold Goetz discovered the gap and gap cave in 1915. With 50 m high gorges, it is the largest cave open to visitors in Germany.

The armholes look best when they are filled with water.

Opening hours can be found online, but they seem to be adjusted as needed. So expect a little waiting time, even if you are there on time at the official time. But it can easily be bridged in the beer garden or the restaurant. Please bring sturdy shoes and a jacket, takes about 45 minutes at 8°C all year round.

A dark chasm called the ice-hole cuts into the rock, and the chasm descends to a horrible depth. Basically there should be water, which is connected to the sea. The ice hole is called like a similar one on the great Gleichberge near Römhild: the cold hell From the depths of that horrid chasm, sighs and howls have often been heard, and it is said that these stem from the souls of the damned villagers...
