Niedaltdorfer Tropfsteinhöhle, Show cave in Niedaltdorf, Germany.

The limestone cave extends 200 meters in length, featuring numerous stalactites, stalagmites, and transparent calcite crystals throughout its chambers.

Workers discovered the cave in 1880 while excavating for a restaurant foundation, but filled it with construction debris until its rediscovery in 1927.

The cave obtained natural monument status in 1937 to protect its geological formations after visitors repeatedly removed pieces as souvenirs.

The cave system includes both eastern and western passages connected through a circular path, with electric lighting installed during its 1932 public opening.

Plant remains, including twigs and larger branches, along with animal elements such as snail shells are preserved within the cave's limestone deposits.
