Teufelshöhle bei Altdorf, Natural cave and geotope in Altdorf bei Nürnberg, Germany.
The Teufelshöhle extends 25 meters into the western slope of Pfaffental Gorge, featuring a 30-meter-wide chamber with exposed sandstone formations.
During the medieval period, the cave served as a source for mining sand, with traces of Rhaetic coal still visible in its geological layers.
The cave appears in the historical novel 'Der goldene Becher,' where it connects to tales of medieval robber knights in the region.
Access to the cave interior remains restricted due to collapse risks, but visitors can observe its entrance from a marked hiking trail.
The cave maintains a constant temperature throughout the year, with its entrance measuring approximately 5 meters wide and 1.5 meters high.
