The Laichinger Tiefenhöhle

The Vertical Cave of Laichingen

Abstieg von der Sandhalle zur Großen Halle
Nasser Schacht (Wet Shaft).

Welcome to the Laichinger Tiefenhöhle (Laichingen Vertical cave)!


This is the only vertical cave in Germany open to the public. It shows a unique view inside a fossilized reef of the Jurassic.

The Tiefenhöhle is a vertical cave, which means a 55 meters descend on steep iron stairs. You will get gaiters to protect your trousers from the dirt on the stairs. Nevertheless, appropriate clothes and comfy shoes are recommended. The cave has 8°Celsius (46°Farenheit), so warm clothes are a good idea.


Additional Information

There are several publications about the cave, but unfortunately they are all in German only.
