Tropfsteinhöhle - Cave in Wiehl

A guided tour through the stalactite cave to the crystal grotto is an impressive experience.

Shortly after entering the cave, you are already 7 metres underground. The temperature here is a constant 8 degrees Celsius all year round. You can admire the many slender stalactites hanging from the ceiling and the stalagmites growing thicker from the floor. The highlight of the tour is the crystal grotto, a former cave lake lined with calcite crystals. The deposits of a coral reef from the Devonian period can also be seen in the cave.

The Wiehl dripstone cave was discovered in 1860 by blasting in a limestone quarry. After extensive safety measures, it was opened to the public in 1927.

The Wiehl registry office offers a special highlight. You can get married in a grotto 30 metres underground.
