Maximiliansgrotte, Show cave in Neuhaus an der Pegnitz, Germany.
The Maximiliansgrotte extends 130 meters in length and 80 meters in width, featuring multiple chambers with limestone formations at 500 meters elevation.
First documented in 1596, the cave gained its current name in 1852 to honor King Max II of Bavaria after systematic exploration revealed its extent.
Archaeological excavations within the cave uncovered pottery fragments from the Hallstatt period and remains of soldiers from the Spanish Succession War.
The cave offers guided tours covering 700 meters of passages, accommodating visitors through electrically lit pathways installed in 1994.
The cave contains the Eisberg, a stalagmite measuring 6 meters high and 3 meters wide, considered the largest formation of its type in Germany.
