Eberstadt Stalactite Cave, Show cave in Eberstadt quarry, Germany.
The limestone cave extends 600 meters through Middle Triassic formations, featuring limestone passages with uniform profiles and multiple calcite crystal formations.
Workers discovered the cave system during quarry operations in December 1971, leading to its protection and public opening as a natural monument in 1973.
The cave functions as an educational center within the Geo-Nature Park Bergstrasse-Odenwald, teaching visitors about geological formations through guided underground tours.
The temperature remains at 11 degrees Celsius throughout the year, with wheelchair-accessible paths extending from the parking area to the cave's end.
The cave maintains its original white limestone appearance due to protection from historical torch and candle use that typically darkens other cave systems.
