Olgahöhle, Natural cave in Honau, Germany
The Olgahöhle extends for 170 meters through limestone formations, featuring two parallel corridors with distinctive semi-spherical calottes of blue algae tuff.
Johann Ziegler discovered the cave on October 24, 1874, during quarry work, and it opened to visitors the following year with candle illumination.
The cave received its name in honor of Queen Olga von Württemberg, and between 1901 and 1903 it hosted performances of Wilhelm Hauff's literary work.
The cave welcomes visitors on the first Sunday of each month from March to November, with guided tours explaining its geological characteristics.
In 1884, Olgahöhle became the first cave in Germany to implement electric lighting, replacing the original candle illumination system.
