Zwergenhöhle bei Hollenberg, Natural cave near Pegnitz, Germany
The Zwergenhöhle extends 97 meters into the mountain beneath Hollenberg Castle ruins, featuring two parallel corridors connected through multiple passages.
The cave system has been registered in the cave registry of the Franconian Alps under the designation D 87, situated at an elevation of 509 meters.
