Bat Cave

Highlight • Cave

Unfortunately no bat cave. If you take a look inside, you can see that it protrudes just 1 meter into the rock and otherwise has no other openings through which bats could fly in.

July 6, 2025, Bat Cave (Fledermaushöhle)

That's right, bats hibernate here. It's an official bat hibernation area; the Hesse State Association for Cave and Karst Research regularly counts the bat population once a winter. Fire salamanders, cave parasitic wasps, and many insects also survive in the small tunnel. The tunnel is about 20 meters long, and at the end, there's water in the passage, which is home to a lot of life. Best regards, Marc

Even if there is only one gnome left, the walk to the gnome holes is worth it. There is also now a bench nearby for a rest.

A cave indentation in the rock with a steel grid. Shine a light and see how far the tunnel reaches into the rocks!
