Kesselgrotte, Natural sandstone grotto in Welzheim, Germany.
The Kesselgrotte features an eight-meter waterfall cascading down sandstone walls into a cavity measuring ten meters wide and seven meters deep.
The formation emerged through continuous weathering processes in the upper Stubensandstein layers, creating cavities known as Hohlkehlen within the Welzheimer Wald region.
The grotto forms part of the geological educational path in the Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald Nature Park, offering insights into regional geological processes.
Visitors reach the grotto via a designated hiking trail located two kilometers west of Welzheim, requiring appropriate footwear for uneven terrain.
A small creek from the Lettenstich area flows at 480 meters above sea level through the grotto before joining the Buchbach and Edenbach rivers.
