Top 12 Caves 글라루스 노드 주변

🥰

We were there today and can only assume it's a nice hike. The access road from the southern end of the lake is practically impassable and only good for hiking, unfortunately. We'll try again another time.

Water source rising from the Schrattenkalk

On the eastern side of the Seluner-Ruck there is a cave, the Wildmannlisloch. Its gate is so large that one can drive in with a horse and cart. It leads an hour and a half deep into the mountain, and the passages inside are so wide that several men can walk upright side by side. At the front the wild men have carved out tables and benches for themselves; a quarter of an hour further in is a small lake, surrounded by boulders; the dwarves have rolled around these to form cool resting places; even further back are the dwellings. The dwarves lived on roots and milk. They helped the neighboring herdsmen to "shear" the stables, feed the cattle, and make hay on the mountain. Once they fetched the midwife from Starkenbach, who had to assist a wild woman. As a reward she received an entire apron full of lumps of earth. On the long way out of the cave, however, she paid no attention to the worthless gift; When she came out into the daylight and looked at the last piece, it was pure gold. Rochholz, Swiss legends.

When the water is low (in winter) you can enter through the gap!

You can explore this cave on your own; a headlamp and waterproof shoes are a good idea. You sometimes have to bend down a bit, so be careful.

A little down (narrow, steep forest path, just under 1 minute) from the road on the eastern shore of the Wägitalersee, the Ziggenbach flows imposingly in a short "canyon" into the lake.

Waterproof shoes or rubber boots are needed to explore more than just the front third of this impressive 150m cave!
