Sturmann Cave, Show cave in Obermaiselstein, Germany.
The cave extends 460 meters into limestone formations, featuring underground passages with steps leading to different chambers and geological structures.
Local priest initiatives led to the cave's public opening in 1905, following extensive exploration and construction of wooden planks for access.
German folklore tells of four wild women who lived in the cave, with stories of farmers receiving gifts after finding their belongings.
The cave maintains 4 degrees Celsius throughout the year, requiring warm clothing and appropriate footwear during the 45-minute guided tours.
The Dragon Gate, Cave Throat, and Cave Basin form distinct sections within the cave, connected by 180 descending steps along an underground river.
