Europas größte Buntsandsteinhöhlen befinden sich direkt unterhalb der Burgruine im Schlossberg. Das beeindruckende, sehr weitläufige Höhlensystem erstreckt sich über 12 Stockwerke, von denen allerdings z. Z. nur eines der drei obersten zur Besichtigung freigegeben ist. Zwischen dem 11. und 17. Jahrhundert wurden die Gänge und Höhlen z. T. als Fluchtmöglichkeiten für die Festungsanlage angelegt. Darüber hinaus dienten die Felsenkammern als Vorrats- und Munitionslager sowie zur Unterbringung der Festungsbesatzungen. Im letzten Weltkrieg suchte die Bevölkerung hier Schutz vor den Bombenangriffen.


April - Oktober tgl. 9-17 h, Februar - März u. November tgl. 10-16 h, Januar und Dezember geschlossen.
