Luegsteinhöhle, Cave castle in Oberaudorf, Germany.
The Luegsteinhöhle consists of a 23-meter-deep natural cave formation situated at 610 meters elevation in the limestone cliffs above Mühlbach village.
Between the 10th and 13th centuries, the Lords of Lueg constructed a two-story wooden castle structure within the cave before relocating to Burg Auerburg.
The name Luegstein originates from Germanic dialects meaning 'to look', referencing the location's commanding position overlooking the Inn Valley and Kaisergebirge mountains.
The cave entrance requires a 40-minute uphill hike from Luegsteinsee lake, followed by climbing metal stairs with rope assistance for the final ascent.
A local tale describes Count von Auer seeking shelter in this cave to avoid a prophesied death by lightning, yet meeting precisely that fate at the entrance.
