Käthra Kuche, Solutional cave entrance in Ehingen, Germany.
The limestone cave system of Käthra Kuche stretches through the Swabian Jura region at an elevation of 700 meters above sea level.
The cave received its name from Katharina Schunter, who lived there between the late 18th century and early 19th century after relocating from Schunter Cave.
The Ehinger Fasnet carnival festivities incorporate the cave's history through the 'Wilden Weiber' group, who reference Käthra in their traditional calls.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the cave entrance, including a 6-kilometer route with 110 meters elevation gain suitable for regular walkers.
Local residents would announce 'D' Käther kocht' whenever they observed smoke rising from the cave, indicating that Katharina was preparing her meals.
