Top 8 Caves 하겐 주변

Under the very rock, which forms a rock shelter, lived for a long time the hermit known as "the Falkenfels", from 1895 until his death in 1902. There is no certainty about the origins of Edouard Hinbeer, nicknamed friendly by the population and in the archives the Waldbruder (brother of the forest). A valiant man, he looked after the pigs of the commune of Hellert. The population esteemed him, considered him a holy man and took turns bringing him their midday meals.

The sandstone cliff called the “Black Band rocks” forms a large overhang above the path. This overhang forms a rock shelter called the Bande Noire cave.

The Falkenfels is now in a year-round protected area. All paths there are forbidden and also dismantled and blocked.

Here you can find 2 former rock houses. Also a bench with a table for a picnic. There is an information board in French at the entrance. It's about 15 minutes from the parking lot. We did a little circular walk.

Several paths lead around the rocks. At the foot there are some cave dwellings - from the top you can enjoy a fantastic view over the valley and on the Dabo rock. Incidentally, not only falcons breed here, but according to the information sign even eagle owls.

The trail around the Geisterfelsen is absolutely fantastic. Do not hesitate to make a small detour to circumvent the buttress along the blue circle. It's worth it ! 👍🤩

Incredible and majestic rock cliffs to explore.

Dug into the sandstone, this cave is the largest natural cavity in the Vosges mountains. It is possible to climb above its entrance to enjoy a magnificent panorama of Walscheid and its surroundings.
