Bruderloch

Bruderloch is a cave with a natural spring in Wenslingen formed within limestone rock layers. The interior contains multiple chambers of varying sizes, where water emerges from an underground opening in one section.

The cave was studied in 1924 by archaeologist Karl Keller-Tarnuzzer, who found no signs of permanent human occupation or use. This early scientific examination established the foundation for modern understanding of the site.

Local folklore connects the cave to mythological creatures from Germanic tradition who were said to inhabit it long ago. These stories reveal how people in this region gave meaning to natural places through passed-down tales.

The site is accessible year-round and maintains a steady temperature throughout the seasons. Visitors should bring reliable lighting since the interior is dark and require careful footing in uneven areas.

One section of the cave shows a notable difference in humidity due to spring water flowing directly through it. This contrast between drier and wetter chambers creates an interesting sensory experience for those exploring inside.
