Other details
According to an information panel at the geotope, the rather unusual name is said to derive from a tree's anchoring in the ground: “Knots” is a common term in the area for the fusion of a root in the limestone rock, and this, together with the cave, which was renamed Keller, yields today's name. The cave is one of 120 geotopes in the Werra-Meißner-Bergland that the Hessisches Landesamt für Naturschutz, Umwelt und Geologie (HLNUG) has recorded, described and assessed.
