Zwiefaltendorfer Tropfsteinhöhle, Limestone cave in Zwiefaltendorf, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
The Zwiefaltendorfer Tropfsteinhöhle extends 27 meters through limestone formations, featuring delicate stalactites and stalagmites covered in pearl-like mineral deposits.
Workers discovered the cave system at a depth of 10 meters during cellar excavation works on January 19, 1892, opening it for public visits that same year.
Located beneath a traditional German gasthaus, the cave combines geological exploration with local brewery tours and regional gastronomic experiences.
Access to the cave requires entering through the cellar of the Zum Rössle inn, with guided tours operating on hourly schedules during restaurant opening times.
This natural formation stands as Germany's smallest show cave, developing simultaneously with calcium carbonate sediments during the last post-glacial warm period.
