Cave Without a Name, Show cave in Kendall County, Texas Hill Country, United States

Cave Without a Name is a limestone solutional cave with six large, well-lit rooms along a show cave route just over a quarter mile long. The Throne Room ceiling has three large solution domes, and the formations include a 50-foot set of rimstone dams beneath a spring-fed pool, a 19-foot drapery called "Texas-sized cave bacon," stalagmites resembling a nativity scene, and a leaning column known as the Leaning Tower of Boerne.

The cavern was discovered in 1935 when farm animals fell into its entrance, alerting local children to its existence. Commercial tours started a few years later, making the site accessible to the public for the first time.

The underground chamber serves as a venue for performances and events throughout the year. The natural acoustics and rock formations create an unusual setting that draws musicians and visitors seeking something different from typical concert spaces.

The entrance stairwell, built in 1939, has 126 steps down to about 80 ft (24 m) below the surface. The cave holds a constant 66 °F (19 °C), so a light layer helps even on warm days above. The show cave route runs just over a quarter of a mile through six lit rooms.

A rare salamander species lives in this cave, found almost nowhere else in the world. This small creature has adapted perfectly to the underground environment and exists only here and in one other location in the region.
