Description
Morphology
The entrance to the cave lies open in the Felsenhalde for historical reasons (hence the name Felsenhöhle); the cave was therefore not first discovered by a landslide or by chance.
The Felsenhöhle is not a show cave in the conventional sense. The cave is in a natural state and secured in such a way that visitors remain accident-free during a normal visit.
Speleothems
The Mühlheimer Felsenhöhle is a dripstone cave.
Other details
The dripstone cave was first developed by the Schwäbischer Albverein in the year 1912, and then newly developed in the year 1977.
The cave can be visited free of charge every year on Ascension Day, when the Höhlenfest hosted by the Schwäbischer Albverein takes place at the same time. At other times, only group visits are possible, as the cave entrance is locked to protect against vandalism.
Bio
From the end of October to mid-March, the cave is also not available for guided group tours, as bats are hibernating during this period.
