Wiehl stalactite cave

Shortly after entering the cave, you find yourself 7 meters underground. The temperature here remains constant at around 8 degrees Celsius year-round. Admire the many slender stalactites hanging from the ceiling and the thicker stalagmites growing from the floor. The highlight of the tour is the Crystal Grotto, a former cave lake lined with calcite crystals. The cave also displays the deposits of a Devonian coral reef.

The Wiehl stalactite cave was discovered in 1860 through blasting in a limestone quarry. After extensive safety measures, it was opened to the public in 1927.

The registry office in Wiehl offers a special highlight: couples can get married in a grotto 30 meters underground.
