    Hiking

    Discovered by Ignaz Bing in 1905, this cave is definitely worth a visit! Developed into a show cave by its discoverer as early as 1906, it has been considered one of the most beautiful show caves in Germany since its renovation in 2005.

    You follow the traces of a dried-up river for almost 300 meters through the mountain, past fantastic stalactite and stalagmite formations. Mighty banks of layered limestone and delicate, crystalline, glittering sinter formations characterize the cave. The temperature down here is around nine degrees Celsius year-round, so be sure to pack a warm sweater!
