Bing Cave, Show cave in Wiesenttal, Germany
Located at an elevation of 380 meters, Bing Cave extends 270 meters into limestone formations with passages reaching 5 meters in width.
Ignaz Bing, an industrialist and amateur naturalist, discovered the cave in 1905 and initiated public tours the following year with electric lighting installations.
The cave temporarily lost its original name during World War II but regained it afterward, marking a significant period in German cultural preservation.
Tours through the cave require approximately 30 minutes, with guides explaining geological formations and historical details in temperature-controlled conditions.
The cave contains a 2.5-meter-high column formation that resembles a palm tree trunk, created through centuries of mineral deposits.
