Cave adventure

The Swabian Alb is a lime reef which has been eroded for millions of years by water. Underground a fascinating world of countless caves exists. The Bärenhöhle ("bear cave") near Sonnenbühl-Erpfingen and the Nebelhöhle ("mist cave") near Sonnenbühl-Erpfingen are illuminated caves well worth a visit for anyone.

Directly next to Bad Urach is the Falkensteiner cave with its gigantic entrance and over 4 km of well-explored cave corridors which ranks 15th in the list of the longest German caves. With a torch you can discover a few metres of the cave at your leisure. However, access to the water cave is limited to experienced cavers with diving equipment.

Nearly all caves in the area are natural monuments and often have only limited or no access. Should you still be game for this adventure, please join a caving association first, for example:
