Tannhäuser Cave

Highlight • Cave

The easiest way is directly above the cave, descending a few steps, some of which are artificially constructed. The cave is a ravine, and no lamp is needed.

The ground was a bit “tricky” or “dirty” today 😀

First steeply uphill, then leisurely down again. In between, a short detour to the mountain inn Großer Hörselberg, highly recommended.

Beautiful paths through the forest, adventure in the Venushöhle and wide views as far as the Inselsberg.

Pretty. 😎
