The rock formation here has a large hole. The path down into the valley to Glashütte is quite challenging. A T2 trail.

The Hohle Stein in Unterkochen
The Hohle Stein lies above Unterkochen-Glashütte on a steep rocky outcrop. It represents a spacious rock hollow, complemented by two cave chimneys leading upwards and a long, very shallow cave passage.

This place is also popularly known as the "Hell's Throat," which is quite appropriate, as entering from above is not entirely safe and plunges vertically into the ground, and is only recognized at a later stage.

The Hohle Stein is the most famous and legendary cave in Unterkochen, located next to the "Schlossbaufeld" (castle building field) where the Kocherburg castle once stood. Among other things, an old tradition tells us that the Hohle Stein served as a hiding place during wartime, which is quite conceivable, given its well-hidden location on a steep mountain slope, offering protection from bad weather and making it difficult for strangers without good local knowledge to find. The fact that people occasionally stayed at the Hohle Stein is also confirmed by a hearth with a chimney in the rock.

Its legendary status and proximity to other attractions, such as sections of the Härtsfeld Railway, the Kocherburg Tunnel, the viaduct, the prehistoric ramparts, and the Kocherburg Castle, make a trip there worthwhile.
