A nice little hiking trail goes along the Zechstein rocks. Here you will also find the so-called knee grotto, which served as a shelter for our ancestors 12,000 years ago.

The knee grotto was discovered by M. Richter in 1930 and is one of the three caves in Döbritzer Schweiz (Zechstein massif). Among the finds in and in front of the grotto there is remarkable cabaret (ivory, decorated harpoon tip).

Already in my school days, we made a trip here, in the cave of the Neanderthals. At that time, the grotto was walkable and the environment was not wild. Nevertheless, the Döbritzer Switzerland is a very nice spot, but unfortunately not maintained and the paths are provided with electric fences.
