Top 17 Caves 일크라이스

Even if the ascent is not possible in winter, the view from below also offers good views and comfortable benches for a break

In theory, it is not allowed to be visited. But if someone happens to get lost here, they can take the rubbish that is often left lying around.

Because of these events, Felix Gebser and some other local friends began excavating stonewood between 1953 and 1955; Unfortunately unsuccessful. After further excavations on the Schenkhopfberg, a large cavity was found, but not the cave and the search was resignedly stopped. It was not until the spring of 1957 that another attempt was made. Felix Gebser, Lothar Großkunze, Reinhardt Erdmann, Rüdiger Pöttgen and a few young people were initially there. After the initial success was achieved again, the first two continued digging alone. This time, however, the entrance to the cave was found. After scratch marks left by cave bears were discovered on walls, a close collaboration was established with the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Weimar. The initial enthusiasm was dampened when no archaeologically valuable finds could be made even at a depth of 20 meters. The two local researchers worked for months, alone in their free time and with the simplest tools, into the cave, which was filled almost to the ceiling with material.

The cave is really only suitable for dwarves.

The burnt out stone at Oberhof is an artificial breakthrough through the rock. It was important for the Lütsche Flößgraben when it was built. The alternation of fire and ice-cold water made the stone brittle and could be worked with mining tools. A 38 m long, 2.3 m high and 2.2 m wide tunnel was created. If you follow the path further you come to the “Hohen Stein” with a wonderful view. The path back to Oberhof leads past the upper Sieglitzteich.
