Hickelhöhle, Cave entrance in Saxon Switzerland, Germany
The Hickelhöhle features a broad entrance measuring 45 meters in width and 10 meters in height, extending 14 meters into sandstone formations.
The cave developed through natural processes as groundwater moved through porous sandstone layers, creating erosion patterns over thousands of years.
The Hickelhöhle stands as the second-largest cave in Saxon Switzerland, drawing geologists and nature enthusiasts to study its layered rock formations.
Visitors can reach the cave by walking 3.5 kilometers from Gastwirtschaft Altes Zeughaus restaurant through a marked forest path.
The cave formation includes a notable rock structure called Hickelkopf above it, which balances on three small pedestals.
