Nebelhöhle

The 380-meter long limestone cave system features numerous limestone formations, including stalactites and stalagmites formed over thousands of years in the Swabian Alps.

First documented in 1486 as Nebelloch, the cave gained recognition when Frederick I of Wurttemberg visited in 1803, leading to structural improvements and public access.

The Nebelhöhlenfest festival, celebrated annually on Whit Monday since 1803, draws thousands of visitors to celebrate the cave's cultural significance.

The cave maintains a constant temperature of 9.5 degrees Celsius throughout the year and requires visitors to descend 140 steps to access the main chambers.

The cave earned its name from the fog that forms when warm underground air meets cold external air, creating a mysterious mist rising from the entrance.
