Hohler Fels, Archaeological cave in Happurg, Germany.
The natural karst cave extends 200 meters in length and 70 meters in width, positioned at an elevation of 546 meters above sea level.
Archaeological excavations in 1906 and 1912 by Konrad Hörmann revealed multiple Middle Paleolithic horizons containing remains of Ice Age fauna and human artifacts.
The cave contains distinct layers from different periods, including the Mesolithic, Neolithic, and Iron Age, showing continuous human presence through various eras.
The cave entrance reaches six meters in height and opens toward the south, located beneath the former Celtic settlement of Houbirg.
A natural bridge with two arches stands in front of the cave entrance, creating a geological formation that distinguishes this site.
