Bielsteinhöhle mit Lukenloch, Protected nature reserve in Horn-Bad Meinberg, Germany.
The Bielstein Gorge extends for 300 meters through limestone cliffs, reaching heights of 15 meters within the 19-hectare nature reserve.
During prehistoric times, the Bielstein Cave served as both a settlement area and refuge site for local inhabitants of the region.
The cave system functions as an essential winter shelter for multiple bat species, including pond bats and greater mouse-eared bats.
Access to the Bielstein Cave is restricted from September to May to protect hibernating bats, while summer visits require adherence to strict preservation rules.
The Lukenloch, a 26-meter-deep funnel-shaped cave within the reserve, collects cold air creating natural temperature conditions for wildlife.
