Navigate through narrow passages, wade through water-filled corridors, and climb over rocks. Marvel at the untouched wilderness deep within the earth's belly, experiencing the only walkable water-bearing cave in Germany. As you wander through the spacious cave passage, you'll pass by calcium sinter terraces to reach the Regentörle and the Goldgräberstollen. Finally, enter a small hall and relish the sound of the cave stream in complete darkness.
