During our visit, the path to the cave was unfortunately closed due to woodwork.

beautiful hike, well-developed path - cave can be climbed

Very large cave and deep into the mountain

The cave was first examined around 1898 by Mr. Stauffer from Frauenfeld. His research back then apparently remained fruitless. It was only large-scale excavations by the geologist Emil Stauber between 1934 and 1935 that yielded charcoal-containing layers with material from the Middle and Younger Stone Age, as well as from the Roman period.

Interesting impression that the route gives you.

The cave dates back to the Mesolithic period around 8500 BC. The cave has been used by hunter-gatherers for short periods since the early Mesolithic period visited as a protected place. They kindled fires there and grilled the hunted spoils. There are still finds from Roman times, these are probably grave goods from a cremation in the cave. There are none of the Alemanni, who are said to have used the cave Sense.

An exciting, walk-in cave. In the rearmost part there are still remains of an old fireplace/oven. A really great place if you are interested in traces of bygone times.
