Mit einer Höhe von 11 Metern, einer Breite von 17 Metern und 24 Metern Tiefe ist der Kuhstall die größte Felsenhöhle im Elbsandsteingebirge. Für den eigenartigen Namen Kuhstall gibt es mehrere Erklärungen. Eine Theorie ist, dass Raubritter der Burg Wildenstein die Höhle als Versteck für ihr gestohlenes Vieh nutzten. Eine andere besagt, dass während des 30-jährigen Krieges Bauern ihre Kühe dort hin brachten, um sie zu schützen.
