Mountain biking

On the way through the Roggental you will pass this cave. But it is definitely not a cave to enter, several rescue operations have already happened here. It is particularly tricky after long rain.

Cycling

The murder hole is a water cave from which the cool water gushes out, in order to then fill the trout ponds and flow into the Eyb. The cave is kilometers long but mostly filled with water, so that it can only be "visited" by experienced divers. It is still a beautiful, idyllic and somehow impressive place. Incidentally, the name of the cave is no coincidence: According to legend, the Eybach castle forester was once murdered and hidden here. His loyal dog is said to have discovered the body only after a long search.

Hiking

In dry summers, the cave can be explored relatively safely by hikers at around 50 meters. Then at the latest you will hit water. With rubber boots you can go a few meters further. But after 70 -80 meters at the latest it's over. A siphon begins here that can only be submerged by experienced speleologists.
The cave is unlocked and freely accessible.
