Das verfluchte Jungfernloch, Cave system near Eisenach, Germany.
The cave opens on the eastern slope of a hill, approximately 500 meters south of Wartburg Castle in the Kälbergrund Valley.
First documented tales of the cave appeared in a collection of local folktales published in Eisenach during 1795.
Ludwig Bechstein included the cave's legend in his 1853 work 'Deutsches Sagenbuch', cementing its place in German folklore traditions.
Visitors can reach the cave by following marked hiking trails from Eisenach, with the Wartburg Castle serving as a reference point.
According to regional folklore, every seven years a maiden's spirit appears at the entrance, combing her golden hair while shedding tears.
