Quackenschloss Cave, Passage cave in Wiesenttal, Germany.
The cave extends 40 meters in length and 20 meters in width, featuring two distinct portals connected by natural rock formations at 510 meters elevation.
The geological formation developed through erosion of Riffdolomit stone layers over millions of years, creating the characteristic porous structure called Quacken.
Local stories tell of a hunter entering the cave and encountering supernatural beings, reflecting regional folklore passed through generations in Upper Franconia.
Three marked hiking trails lead to the cave from Engelhardsberg, ranging from 5.7 kilometers to 23.9 kilometers in total distance.
The cave structure follows two longitudinal fractures intersected by bedding joints, resulting in a natural passage with entrances measuring 7 and 9 meters wide.
