Hohlenstein-Stadel, Prehistoric cave in the Lone valley, Germany
The Hohlenstein rock formation contains two main caves, with the Stadel Cave extending 50 meters into limestone formations at 48.5 degrees north.
Archaeological excavations in 1939 revealed fragments from mammoth tusks that were later reconstructed into the Lion Man figure dating back 40,000 years.
The Stadel Cave holds exceptional importance as the discovery site of the only Neanderthal bone fragment found in southern Germany.
The cave entrance remains accessible to visitors outside bat and bird protection periods, with guided tours available through local organizations.
Within the cave system, researchers discovered 88 cave bear skulls and numerous fossilized bones, indicating extensive prehistoric animal habitation.
