Stairway to the Small Cave

Highlight • Cave

Caution: When wet, the stone steps of the stairs can be very slippery. A little caution and using the attached handrail won't hurt.

Kakus Cave and Kartstein Cliffs

Highlight • Cave

A very large cave with many exits, so a lot of light falls into the cave. It is also very bright and, with stairs and concrete reinforcements, can be entered even by fearful people (claustrophobia, darkness, etc.) In the back part - up the stairs - you can crawl out on your knees by lowering. The various openings of the cave have something like windows, so no artificial light is necessary during the day

Kakushöhle Cave

Highlight • Cave

The cave itself is of course not suitable for road bikes - although you can take your bike with you.
Snack is good - there aren't that many in the area.
The toilets (outside) allow water intake.
