Itinerary

Explore with us the wild, completely nature Gustav-Jacob Cave. With a length of 210 metres, the main cave forms the longest passage cave in the Swabian Alb. The cave meanders through a mountain spur below the ruin of Hofen Castle and was only discovered in 1936 by the two community worker Gustav Fetzer and Jakob Kazmaier.
Here children have a clear advantage, because the cave is quite low, almost always narrow. Therefoe, standing upright tend to be the exception for adults. A high fun and adventure factor is therefore guaranteed. In the cave we are impressed by real works of art made of stalactites and as soon as we are bent around a corner, the picture is already changing again.
