Traces from the stone age on the Drachenberg

The legendary Drachenloch is a cave in limestone layers from the Cretaceous period. Cave bear bones, probably used for ceremonial purposes, as well as 53'000 year old charcoal and a bone flute, which indicate an early presence of humans, were discovered here.
