What to expect

Discover the Falkenstein Cave in the Swabian Jura on a guided tour for beginners.Thousands of caves make the Swabian Alb one of the world's most cave-rich regions. The spectrum ranges from simple rock holes to show caves with magnificent stalactite formations to the caves of the oldest Ice Age art, in which the oldest objects ever made by humans were found and which were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.Experience an adventure and immerse yourself in a fascinating and closed world. Discover the wild and only water-bearing cave in Germany, the Falkenstein Cave. Squeeze through narrow passages, pass through water-bearing cave passages, climb over rocks and admire an untouched primeval world deep in the belly of the earth.At the beginning of the tour, you hike a few hundred meters bus to the gigantic cave portal. Put on your helmets and switch on your headlamps. The cave ceiling drops to one meter and it gets a little wetter. Walk through the mostly spacious cave passage over numerous falls, sometimes in chest-deep water past limestone terraces to the Regentörle. Reach the Goldgräberstollen, where there is a lack of gold. Enter a small hall and enjoy the babbling of the cave stream in complete darkness.

Ear eine Super-Tour. Unsere 8-jährige Tochter war total begeistert. Leider war sie recht schnell durchgefroren, so dass wir relativ bald umkehren mussten. Nichtsdestotrotz hat es riesigen Spaß gemacht. Auch vielen Dank an Peter, der uns sicher und kompetent durch dieses Abenteuer begleitet hat.
