Tschamberhöhle

The Tschamberhöhle is a limestone cave in Rheinfelden containing underground streams and waterfalls that flow through its passages. A portion of the cave system opens to visitors on marked pathways that reveal natural rock formations and water features.

This cave formed through water erosion working on limestone deposits over millions of years and stands as one of only a few public shell limestone caves available in Germany. Its development as a visitor destination reflects how these natural spaces came to be valued as places worth exploring.

The cave serves as a local learning destination where people discover how natural processes shape the underground world. Guided tours help visitors understand the geological story written in rock formations and flowing water systems.

The cave is only open during specific seasons and limited days each week, so planning ahead and checking dates is important before arriving. The pathways underground can be slippery and narrow in places, making sturdy footwear and a headlamp or flashlight essential for a safe visit.

At the endpoint of the accessible route stands an active waterfall that demonstrates how underground water continues to shape the cave today. This natural feature reveals that the cave is not a finished formation but rather a living system still changing with flowing water.
