Top 9 Caves 잘레-홀즐란트-크라이스

There are two beautiful caves to admire here. Above them is the Bastei viewpoint with the Trompeterfelsen rock.

Located on the way to Ölknitzer Grund.

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.

Great view and beautiful hiking trail

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.

The white sand extracted from the caves was used as grit in the living rooms of the Middle Ages and was later used industrially.
