A summit you could easily skip 😆

The Schreiber Cave is a cave formed approximately 15 million years ago, carved out of strata in the approximately 30 cm thick limestone of the White Jura Zeta. It was discovered after two shafts collapsed during blasting operations. In May 1960, it was named after the Heidenheim speleologist Walter Schreiber († 1960), who first surveyed the cave in collaboration with the Laichingen Cave and Local History Society. Further research, surveys, and mapping were carried out in 1971/72, 1980, and from 1997 onwards. The cave is given as 210 m long, with an elevation difference of 17 m. Descent into the Schreiber Cave leads behind the gate into a 2 m deep pit, which has a floor-to-ceiling access passage with a metal frame on the right side. Behind it, a 2m wide passage opens up, into which one must descend vertically for almost 4m. At the end of this short passage, one enters a room measuring 8m x 3m and 2m high, littered with fallen rock (slump). In the eastern ceiling area, there is a vertical shaft that is covered at the surface. The collapse shaft and the bat passage branch off to the left or half-left, and the main passage of the cave runs tangentially at the right end of the room. Following the 40m long main passage to the left in a north-northwest direction, one reaches the junction with the dead end and, after 19m, reaches the western end of the cave. In the opposite direction, the main passage leads to the Great Slump, in whose rubble the skull and several bones of an aurochs were recovered. It is therefore assumed that the cave was once more easily accessible than it is today. In front of the Great Collapse, another passage branches off, running parallel to the main passage and connected to it by two loops. Another excavated passage behind the Great Collapse leads to the 7m × 5m Bison Hall, whose ceiling is 2m high. Two parallel passages lead out of it, the left one ending in a sinter passage after about 14m, thus marking the easternmost point of the cave.

A junction point with UTM coordinates... Helpful if you want to arrange a meeting point or find yourself in a difficult situation.

There is no view from the rock itself. Everything is overgrown.

When you drive past below, you can't see the rock. It's quite impressive considering the entire basin was once a lake.

The geological peculiarity of the Steinheim Basin, which was created by a meteorite impact 15 million years ago, can be clearly seen here.

Nice part of the Meteor Crater circular hiking trail

Is there something missing? A bench.
