The Laichinger Tiefenhöhle

The Vertical Cave of Laichingen


	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.

Open: opens in the Passion Week, the week before Easter, and closes at the end of fall holidays in Baden Württemberg, which is usually in early November. It is open daily from 9 to 18 (9 a.m. to 6 p.m.).
Fee: Adults € 3, Children € 2,20, Groups (10+) Adults € 2,70, Children € 2.
Location: see our map page.
Tours: The tour takes at least 30 min. Regular guided tours are only made sunday afternoon. At all other times the cave is visited by self guided tours.
We do not offer guided tours in other languages than German. Some of our guides are fluent in English and will be able to answer questions. Groups may send an email, under certain circumstances (availability of the honorary guides) it's possible to make a special tour in English or French.
Self guided tours are offered in the languages below.

Additional Information

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