A cave with little to offer, into which one goes only briefly and comes back out again.

Characteristics

Caves are protected biotopes (§30 BNatSchG). Caves used by bats as winter quarters must not be entered from 1 October to 31 March (§39(6) BNatSchG), except show caves and their developed parts.

Location

To find the three caves around the Friensteinkeller, one must know where they are, and that is not easy. Coming from the Kirnitschtal along the Königsweg, there is a left-hand bend. At this bend a trail marker is attached to a Christmas tree. From there a small valley cut leads upward, and one is already there. If one reaches the junction where the steps go up to the Idagrotte, one has gone too far. The entrance of the said cave can be recognized by the fern.
