Binghöhle

A stalactite cave at Streitberg with narrow passages and dense dripping formations, one of the most beautiful stalactite caves in Germany.

The Binghöhle was discovered in 1905 by merchant Ignatz Bing. It is a former underground river passage about 300 meters long, with dense, colorful stalactites, stalagmites and flowstone, and some dripping formations are still growing. The tour takes about 30–40 minutes. The route is gentle with few steps, making it suitable for families. The entrance lies on the hillside beside the village of Streitberg, about 10 minutes' walk from the car park. It can be combined with the Streitberg Castle ruins on the summit and the Neideck Castle ruins across the valley. Admission is about 6 euros, and the cave is closed in winter.
