Erdmannshöhle, Show cave in Hasel, Germany.

The Erdmannshöhle extends for 2185 meters through limestone formations, with 360 meters of illuminated passages available for guided tours.

Discovered in 1754 during limestone quarrying operations, the cave opened to visitors in 1773, making it Germany's second-oldest commercial cave system.

Local tales speak of Erdmännlein, small creatures inhabiting the cave, stemming from stories of 17th-century mineralogical prospectors known as Venetians.

The cave maintains a constant temperature throughout the year and requires visitors to use the main entrance at Wehrer Strasse 27 in Hasel.

The cave houses Germany's largest dripstone formation, measuring 4 meters in height and 2 meters in thickness, with an age of 135,000 years.
