Königshöhle

The Königshöhle extends 25 meters deep into a limestone formation, featuring a broad entrance portal measuring 16 meters wide and 3 meters high.

Archaeological excavations in the 1920s by Oswald Menghin and Josef Bayer uncovered numerous artifacts from the Neolithic period and early Bronze Age.

The cave became the reference site for the Baden culture pottery style, characterized by jugs with high-arched handles and shallow groove decorations.

Visitors can explore the archaeological findings from Königshöhle at the Rollettmuseum in Baden, which displays pottery vessels, tools, and jewelry.

A copper choker discovered in the cave suggests ancient inhabitants may have used this location for cremation ceremonies during the Baden cultural period.
