Leichenhöhle, Natural cave in Balve, Germany
The Leichenhöhle extends 35 meters into the limestone cliff, culminating in a chamber of approximately 20 square meters at its terminus point.
Archaeological excavations within the cave uncovered skeletal remains indicating its function as a burial site during the Bronze and Iron Ages.
The cave represents a substantial archaeological research site, providing essential data about early burial practices in the northern Sauerland region.
Between November and April, access to the cave becomes restricted as various bat species utilize the space for winter hibernation.
The cave sits 25 meters above the Hönne valley floor in the Devonian limestone formations near the village of Binolen.
