About the Klausloch: on the way from Camburg to Tümpling a hermit lived in a cave. In the front part of the cave he created a small chapel with an altar niche that is still recognizable, and in the back part he created the "hermit's" living space. In the hermitage the hermit prayed, ate the fruits of the forest and lived in harmony with nature.

The alternative route to the Saale Cycle Path leads past the Klausloch. Very interesting.

The supports of the large limestone slabs will probably not last forever…

The path from Camburg to Tümpling becomes very narrow at one point; On the left, the slope covered with dense bushes falls almost vertically down to the Saale and on the right, limestone cliffs rise steeply. At this place you pass a cave carved into the rock, the Klause, also called Klausloch, from Romanesque times. The visitor has to climb some steps cut into the rock to reach the cave, which is divided into two rooms. The front room with a still recognizable altar niche was apparently used as a chapel by the hermit who lived here in the early Middle Ages. The rear room probably served as a living room.

Imposing rocky path along the Saale. The rocks are made of shell limestone. The calcareous soils mean that you can discover a lot of snails.

You can get here on the Grottenweg, a highlight that has not been noticed so far, wrongly. The sandstone pillar supports the small grotto,

A path to melt away, it's not bad in the grotto, the path to the grotto is a must for every hiker, sure-footedness and looking for the dead trees. 👍

According to the name it is called "Klausloch". An interesting mini cave to climb into.
