Goldloch, Natural cave in Lichtenstein, Germany
Goldloch is a cave within the Gaisspitzberg mountain near Lichtenstein that extends several dozen meters deep into the rock. The chambers contain limestone formations and stalactites, with the largest space reaching about six meters in height.
The discovery of coins within the cave during the 18th century inspired the name Goldloch, meaning Gold Hole. This finding shaped how people understood and spoke about this location for generations.
A statue of Mary and child placed in the rear chamber connects this cave to local religious practices and folk traditions. The sculpture shows how visitors have incorporated spiritual meaning into this natural space.
The cave has no artificial lighting, so bringing a flashlight is necessary to explore the chambers safely. Visitors should be mindful of certain seasons when the cave is sensitive for local wildlife.
One striking feature is a round chamber with a domed ceiling and surrounding fallen rocks and clay deposits that create a distinctive pocket within the cave. This formation sets it apart from the rest of the passages.
