Gudenus cave, Natural monument cave near Krems, Austria
The Gudenus cave extends 22 meters in length with a width between 2 to 3 meters, positioned 7.5 meters above the Little Krems River.
Archaeological excavations in the 1880s by Ferdinand Brun revealed numerous Neanderthal artifacts, including Mousterian tools and animal remains from the Paleolithic period.
The discovery of a bone flute fragment dating from 16,000 to 10,000 BCE indicates early musical development among the cave's prehistoric inhabitants.
The cave functions as both a scientific research location and an educational site, offering visitors insights into prehistoric human activities through guided tours.
The cave contains two entrances with a distinctive bend in its structure, classified as a Kniehöhle type passage, preserving untouched archaeological layers.
