Wulfbachquellhöhle

The Wulfbachquellhöhle extends 6,497 meters underground, featuring water-filled passages and limestone formations shaped by the Wulfbach spring water flow.

First documented in 1879, the cave's water source supplied local communities until 1938, when authorities stopped its use due to typhus concerns.

The cave name combines Wulfbach, referring to the spring water source, with höhle, reflecting the German naming tradition for natural underground formations.

Entry requires professional diving equipment and prior authorization, as the narrow entrance passages contain water at a constant temperature of 9 degrees Celsius.

The Wulfbach spring emanating from the cave produces between 10 and 200 liters per second, previously powering multiple mills in the surrounding region.
