Only a few kilometers away from the Nebelhöhle, you will find the Bärenhöhle. On the 30th of May in 1834, the local school teacher Fauth lost his tobacco pouch as he was gathering herbs out in the forest; it fell down a crevice in the ground and into the darkness.
The following ay, he decided to go digging with his group of friends and found a small cave. Inside they found rings made of bronze and gold along with various pieces of bone including over 50 human remains, most likely from the Plague during the Thirty Years War.
The cave is split into two parts: the originally discovered Karlshöhle and the 1949 discovered Bärenhöhle, 271 meters of which are accessible. The Bärenhöhle, much like the Karlshöhle,was filled with various bone fragments due to the numerous bone fragments and skulls of cave bears,
this new section was soon called Bärenhöhle, or Bear‘s Cave. Nowadays, both caves are referred to as the Bärenhöhle. The temperatures in these caves are also 48°-50°F year round (so remember your warm clothing), but unlike the Nebelhöhle a large portion of the Bärenhöhle is wheelchair accessible.
