The cozy restaurant serves Thuringian specialties. There is a snack bar with outdoor seating. Here you can wait with a drink and a little something to eat until the tours of the cave begin.

The Barbarossa Cave covers 13,000 square meters and is one of only two existing show caves in the world, made of anhydrite rock, making it a geological rarity. The unique charm of this magical subterranean world lies in the uniquely beautiful, multi-layered play of colors of the white to gray rock.

The South Harz gypsum karst landscape stretches for around 100 kilometers in length but only a few kilometers in width on the southern slope of the Harz Mountains. Here you can find a wide variety of karst phenomena such as sinkholes, dolines, caves and stream sinkholes, which are unique in Europe in such large numbers in such a small area. The gypsum karst area in the South Harz is the largest and most important gypsum karst area in Central Europe. The Gipskuppe is one of the unique areas worth protecting.
