Highlight • River

Super nice spot, nice for a picnic. There is a meadow right by the creek and a gravel path for hiking and walking.

The Burkhardtshöhle named after the discoverer of the cave was also a very large cave with many prehistoric finds. During the Second World War it was used as an ammunition store and was blown up in 1945. Hence only the large field of rubble.

Stone House

Highlight • Cave

A smaller, amazingly deep natural cave. A little light from the entrance falls deep into it, so there is no need for a lamp. A short detour from the main path that is worthwhile.

Stairs to Schertel Cave

Highlight • Trail

A few steps lead quickly up to the cave - alternatively a little longer over the forest path.

February 22, 2026,Steinernes Haus – Schertelshöhle Runde von Westerheim

The tour wasn't without its challenges; some of the paths were quite demanding, and I had to walk very carefully due to the snow and wet conditions 😬 🫣 But you all had fun 🎉 😁
