Schillerhöhle, Natural cave near Bad Urach, Germany.

The limestone cave extends approximately 30 meters before curving towards a clay-filled pond at its deeper section.

The cave formation dates back to the Tertiary period, five million years ago, when the Swabian Alb extended further north than its current position.

The cave received its name from the novel 'Rulaman' by David Friedrich Weinland, published in 1876, where it serves as home to the Tulka tribe.

The cave remains closed from mid-November to mid-April to protect the bat population and requires flashlights and sturdy footwear for exploration.

Water level marks on the walls indicate the former water flow direction from north to south through the high crevice of the cave.
