Teufelshöhle
Teufelshöhle Pottenstein
The largest show cave in Franconian Switzerland, with a huge stalactite hall and cave bear skeletons, a must-see underground sight in Pottenstein.
The Teufelshöhle (Devil's Cave) lies about 2 km southeast of Pottenstein beside the B470 road. It takes its name from an entrance that resembles the gaping mouth of a devil. The guided route is about 1.5 km long and takes around 45 minutes, passing through stalactite halls including the “Barbarossa Cathedral.” The cave also displays a cave bear skeleton. Temperatures inside stay at around 9°C year-round, so bring a jacket. There are many steps. The cave is open daily from April to October; in winter it opens only on weekends or at set times, so check the official website. Admission is about 7 euros.
