Cheers to the Palatinate

The colloquially named "Stalactite Cave" is a former trial tunnel for extraction. Located directly on the "Palatine Musicians' Trail" and the themed path "Attempts at Extraction," the "Stalactite Cave" can be explored on a self-guided tour.

In 1911, this tunnel was rediscovered by chance. It is a 76m long tunnel with a ceiling height of about 1.80m. In the nearly 200 years since the tunnel was created, numerous approximately 20cm long stalactites have formed on the ceiling. A visit is possible from the end of April to the end of September on your own with a flashlight and sturdy, waterproof footwear.
