The Prinzenhöhle cave features natural stone formations and extends deep into the rocky terrain of Saxony, creating underground passages and chambers.
First documented on January 17, 1455, the Prinzenhöhle cave served as an important geological landmark in the Zwickau region throughout medieval times.
