Bucher Caves (Silversand Caves)

Highlight • Cave

Doesn't look very spectacular from the outside but I was really pleasantly surprised. It's a small maze with branches and dead ends, which is great for kids too. You can't get lost, but you can play hide and seek 😜.

We used the wonderful spring weather today for a trip to the Dillberg near Postbauer-Heng (Neumarkt district).
Immediately after the town sign of Dillberg there is a hiking car park, which is the ideal starting point for the circular hiking trail.
Directly at the parking lot we found a two meter high stele that describes the Dillberg as the "European …

If you fancy a mud pack, I recommend the poetry trail on the Dillberg. The last time I was here was in autumn and I was hoping that the municipality of Postbauer Heng would finally repair the path.... None... Worse is always possible🤣🤣🤣

Although I lived in the area for many years, I didn't know the cave. Been to Dillberg 100 times.. 🫣 but Komoot didn't …

Weather-wise, today we switched to hiking boots, drove to the Dillberg and set off on the "Path of Poetry", which I once saw at @Margret: The (changing) poetry exhibits are, well: nice. The sculptures such as the light display or the guardian of the poetry path (who, by the way, doesn't look so friendly depending on the direction you look …
