Hiking

The Steinach normally flows out of this cave. But at the moment there is hardly any water in it. Further back, however, you need rubber boots to penetrate deeper into the cave. The entrance is closed with an iron gate during the cold season to avoid disturbing the bats.

Hiking

It is advisable to visit the Bauerloch Cave in winter, when the trees are bare. Then you can see the rock wall at the cave better. However, there must be no snow. Then the climb would be too dangerous and you might not even recognize the path.

From 1 April you may re-enter the cave necessarily carry a flashlight. But depending on the water level it could get wet. Devinitively a highlight
