Description
Morphologie
The Goetz-Höhle is a collapse fissure cave. It is regarded as the largest cave of this type in Germany and is the only developed and walkable joint and fissure cave in Europe. The joints and fissures formed about 25,000 years ago through a landslide of the slope toward the Werra, which is still ongoing. The cave is walkable along a length of 420 meters in four parallel fissures and three levels.
Progression
About half of the guided route consists of artificially constructed tunnels running across the fissures.
Autres détails
The cave is a natural monument and an archaeological monument.
Histoire
The cave was discovered by the Meiningen merchant Reinhold Goetz in August 1915. After development, which dragged on over several years with interruptions, it was opened as a show cave on 21 April 1934. From 1970 to 2000, guided tours were suspended after the cave was closed due to alleged safety deficiencies. On 22 April 2000, the cave was reopened after a thorough renovation.
