König-Otto-Tropfsteinhöhle, Limestone show cave in Velburg, Germany.
The König-Otto-Tropfsteinhöhle extends 200 meters in length and width, featuring numerous limestone formations throughout its chambers and passages.
Shepherd Peter Federl discovered the cave on September 30, 1895, naming it after Bavarian King Otto whose name day coincided with the discovery date.
The cave chambers contain formations named after specific shapes, including sections called Buddha, Castle, and Hermits, reflecting local interpretations of natural structures.
Tours through the cave last 40 minutes, operate from April to October, and include 47 steps down to the main chamber with a constant temperature of 8 degrees Celsius.
The Advent Hall, discovered in 1972, contains colored sinter beads that provide evidence of the cave's underwater past during the Jurassic period.
