Zwergenhöhle

The Zwergenhöhle extends 12 meters into the mountain slope, featuring a main chamber with dimensions of seven meters in width and two meters in height.

Archaeological findings within the cave include prehistoric vessel fragments and artifacts from the Thirty Years War period, indicating long-term human occupation of the site.

The name of this natural formation stems from German folklore about small creatures who departed the cave following disappointment with their human neighbors.

The cave entrance sits near the Neuenberg castle ruins, accessible through forest walking paths from the parking area in the Lindlar-Scheel village.

Local studies suggest the presence of an additional entrance above the cave that potentially connected to Neuenberg castle as a concealed escape route.
