Bittelschießer Höhle

Bingen, Germany, Germany

Bittelschießer Höhle is a natural karst cave carved into Upper Jurassic Massenkalk rock southeast of Hornstein in Bingen, Sigmaringen district, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, located in the dramatic 300-meter Bittelschießer Täle gorge along the Lauchert River at about 605 meters elevation. Formed post-Riß glaciation when the Lauchert incised through ancient Urdonau sediments, this 64-meter-long, 9-meter-wide, and 14-meter-high cavern features corrosion forms, joints, a main passage with upper level accessed via scree, and a vertical shaft, openly accessible from the south-facing Lauchert side. Near Burg Hornstein ruins to the north and Bittelschieß castle ruins directly above, it's a popular short hike on the unmarked Lauchert-Höhlen-Weg trail for exploring Swabian Alb geology amid scenic cliffs and riverbanks.
