Frickenhöhle, Karst cave entrance in Farchant, Germany
The Frickenhöhle extends 3,222 meters into the western slope of Hohen Fricken mountain, featuring multiple halls, passages, and underground lakes throughout its length.
The cave system has gradually formed through water erosion in the Estergebirge region, creating one of Germany's largest karst formations over millions of years.
Local researchers and explorers continuously study the cave's network, documenting its geological features and investigating potential connections to nearby Kuhflucht spring caves.
Access to the cave requires a steep 1.75-hour hike from Farchant, and exploration beyond the entrance lake demands neoprene equipment or rope climbing skills.
The cave contains several water-filled siphons and a vertical elevation difference of 60 meters, with water occasionally flowing out during heavy rainfall periods.
