Bruderloch, Cave and natural spring in Wenslingen, Switzerland
Bruderloch contains three large chambers and one small chamber, with a total length of 18 meters through the limestone formations of Basel-Landschaft canton.
In 1924, archaeologist Karl Keller-Tarnuzzer conducted research on Bruderloch, determining that the cave showed no evidence of permanent human habitation or storage use.
Germanic folklore suggests that Heinzelmännchen, small mythological creatures known for helping farmers, resided in Bruderloch until a farmer stole their golden dishes.
The cave maintains a constant temperature and remains accessible year-round, though visitors should bring proper lighting equipment and avoid deep exploration without professional guidance.
The cave features a distinct chamber where spring water emerges through a small opening, while another chamber provides enough height for adults to stand upright.
