Große Burghöhle, Limestone cave in Hemer, Germany

The Große Burghöhle extends horizontally through a limestone massif, positioned 16 meters above the valley floor in the Klusenstein rock formation.

Archaeological excavations in the cave revealed significant Bronze Age artifacts, including a bronze water bird sculpture dating from the Early Iron Age period.

The cave functions as an educational center where visitors learn about geological processes and the early human settlements in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Guided tours through the cave system provide information about rock formations, while protective measures ensure the preservation of both artifacts and resident bat populations.

The cave chambers contain specific acoustic properties that create natural sound amplification effects throughout the underground passages.
