Teufelsküche, Limestone cave complex in Gütighofen, Germany
The Teufelsküche consists of several natural cavities within a middle Jurassic limestone formation, situated forty meters above the Möhlin river level.
Archaeological investigations revealed evidence of reindeer hunters inhabiting these caves during the Upper Paleolithic period, approximately 35,000 years before present.
The geological formations near the caves include remnants of Hauenfels Castle, which served as a residence from 1200 to 1600.
Visitors can reach the primary cave entrance through a ladder system, with the site remaining open for exploration throughout the year.
The eastern slope of Ölberg contains distinctive rock formations that earned official recognition as a geotope in the Freiburg administrative district.
