Höhlenruine von Hunas, Archaeological cave site in Pommelsbrunn, Germany.
The Höhlenruine von Hunas stands at 517 meters above sea level, located near a limestone quarry on the eastern slope of Steinberg mountain.
Professor Florian Heller discovered this buried cave in May 1956, leading to extensive excavations that revealed remains dating back to the penultimate ice age.
The cave contains evidence of over 130 animal species, including bear and bat remains, documenting environmental changes throughout the Ice Age period.
Access to the cave ruins requires permission as the site lies within an active commercial quarry area near the Hunas settlement.
A human molar tooth found in the cave represents the oldest human evidence discovered in Bavaria, making it a significant archaeological discovery.
