Top 18 Caves 탄나 주변

Amazingly, it is not locked and can be entered - provided you have a lamp with you. After just a few steps it is pitch black and you can already hear the water at the end.

Because there is a lot of information waiting for you along the entire route.

Addition: Günter Wachter, who comes from here (my former history teacher), had compiled all sorts of stories and legends back then. I think the Frenchmen's Cave was mentioned in there at some point. “Wachter Günter” – buy used, antiquarian & new books - https://www.booklooker.de/B%C3%BCcher/angebote/autor=Wachter+G%C3%BCnter Rainer Pötzold from Tanna is also very familiar with field names and even did his doctorate on them and dialects. Unfortunately, he has been dead for a long time. Maybe his wife still has documents about it...

Hello Angela, unfortunately I don't know. I only know the old traditions that were told by grandparents, parents or acquaintances.

Hello Matze, on www.tinyhouse-im-wald.de I am currently creating a collection of excursion destinations around the tiny house in the forest. It will certainly be interesting for my guests to find out more about the legends of the French Cave. Can you read the legends somewhere? Many greetings from Angela Budde

I've heard and read a lot about the French Cave. There are many legends floating around. The residents of Tanna are said to have hidden there from Napoleon's troops. Allegedly there are passages leading from the cave through the mountain. I find it quite small, just a small hole. Only God knows whether everything that is said about it is true. But in every legend, story there is always a bit of truth. 🤔

One of the most beautiful places I discovered on my tour.

An information board explains the historical background. Interestingly, the Saale rises in the Fichtelgebirge from a former mine tunnel in which yellow chalk was mined. Humboldt was there too.
