Suddenly the forest splits and a beautiful valley opens up with a huge rock formation in the background. In the middle is a large hole, the cave, my first destination.
On the way to the cave I cross the Lörmecke again. I let the area and the rock face have an effect on me, and take a few pictures. Then I go to the main entrance of the cave. It really isn't very deep, not comparable to the Feldhof cave in MK (see other tour), but despite everything it is present and has an impact. My spirit of adventure was awakened even before the tour, full of anticipation for the tour and the cave.
I enter the cave, walk to the end, always carefully, as the ground is uneven and covered in stones.
About 12,000 years ago in the Iron Age, hunters hunted reindeer here during their spring migration, killed them and, based on the bone finds, used the rear part of the cave as a hunting quarters and processed the reindeer. In the 1920s and 1930s, Eberhard Henneböhle and Julius Andree carried out excavations in the Hohlen Stein. They found numerous finds from the late Paleolithic and pre-Roman Iron Age, during which finds prove that the cave served as a burial site around 750 BC.
During the Thirty Years' War, the cave served as a hiding place for counterfeiters who counterfeited the 6 Pfennig coins of the city of Werl.
I let the historical place have an effect on me, taking lots of pictures and videos.
