The cave lies in the Klusenstein rock massif below Klusenstein Castle, about 16 metres above the valley floor, and runs horizontally. Its entrances and exits can only be reached by climbing; one entrance above the Hönnetalbahn tracks is a rock crevice 7 metres high and 1.5 metres wide. The cave is owned by the Rheinisch-Westfälische Kalkwerke, which runs quarries in the Hönnetal, so access is not open to the public.

One of the cave's chimneys ends in a cellar room of Klusenstein Castle above, but the passage was walled up long ago. The cave is also an archaeological site where a bronze water-bird figurine from the older Iron Age was found.
