알브레히츠베르크 안 데어 그로센 크렘스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Please do not deface it!!! Below Hartenstein Castle lies the Gudenus Cave, which was carved out of the riverbank and inhabited by Neanderthals during the Stone Age. Traces of settlement dating back almost 100,000 years were discovered there, including hand axes and other tools. Due to historical preservation, the bridge could no longer be rebuilt unless the cave was sealed.

An impressive natural monument. The climb, approximately 15 minutes and 85 meters in elevation, is well worth it. The Stone Hall is part of the Kremstal Canyon, a region with other interesting caves such as the Gudenus Cave and the Eichmayer Cave. A 30-meter-wide and eight-meter-high rock roof. This sheltered site was frequented by Ice Age hunters. Neanderthal stone tools from the Middle Paleolithic and the end of the last Ice Age were found here.

The entrance to the cave is overgrown, which is a pity.

The Hirschwand, or rather the Hirschwandsteig, is well secured with ropes and footholds, but you should still be sure-footed and free from shingles if you want to enjoy the view here.

The bridge at the Gudenus Cave has been gone for 2 years. Accessible via stones at low water

If you haven't been up here, you haven't been to the Wachau! The view of the Danube is stunning!!

The Gudenus Cave was used by Neanderthals 10,000 years ago, that's humbling, impressive natural monument!
