Geisterhöhle (Rechtenstein Cave)

Highlight • Cave

The Ghost Cave
The cave is also known as the Rechtenstein Cave, but the popular name is Ghost Cave. The 6 m high entrance portal opens to the south towards the Danube and offers a wonderful view over the valley. The cave has four parallel passages and branches. Inside the cave there are still some stalactites, some of which are weathered. Bone remains from cave bears and reindeer were found in the cave, but no tools from the Stone Age. It is therefore not certain that Stone Age hunters visited and used the cave. The reindeer bones do not yet prove the presence of humans, as the bone remains could also have been carried into the cave by animals.
