Petershöhle
Beuron, Germany, Germany
Petershöhle near Beuron, Germany, is a high medieval cave castle carved into a limestone cliff on the Peterfelsen at 730 meters elevation in the Swabian Alb, offering sweeping views over the Upper Danube Valley.
Dating to the 12th-13th centuries based on pottery shards including oven tiles suggesting semi-permanent habitation—possibly by locals linked to nearby Beuron Abbey rather than nobility—the elliptical chamber spans 25x16 meters with a sealed front wall, rock shaft for light, and former steep wooden stairs now removed for safety.
Evidence of Bronze Age and Celtic use adds depth to its story, though today the impressive, secured entrance remains off-limits amid protected hiking trails in the Upper Danube Nature Park.
