Goldloch, Natural cave in Lichtenstein, Germany

The Goldloch cave extends 45 meters into the Gaisspitzberg mountain, reaching a maximum height of 6 meters with limestone formations and stalactites throughout the chambers.

In 1778, the discovery of hundreds of coins within the cave contributed to its name Goldloch, which translates to Gold Hole in English.

A statue of Madonna with a child stands in the rear chamber of the cave, with local folklore suggesting that kissing its feet brings financial fortune.

Visitors should avoid entering the cave between October and March to protect the bat population and need flashlights as the cave lacks artificial lighting.

The cave features a round chamber with a ceiling dome of 30 centimeters in diameter, surrounded by fallen rocks and clay deposits.
