Top 4 Caves around Deggenhausertal

Above the chapel, or rather just before it, there are several caves that are connected to each other. At the end, above the chapel, there is a cross. To get to the caves, you have to climb a little bit.

Very interesting rock cave and great view over the landscape. See detailed description on the board (photo).

Top view. Be careful when walking on the path, there could be falling rocks.

Be careful when walking the path. Rockfalls may occur. There is a small seating area in the cave. Beautiful view of Lake Constance.

Along the friendship path you have numerous opportunities to enjoy the view of the lowlands towards Lake Constance and the Alpine panorama. Rockfall is to be expected along the path.

This path runs slightly below the main hiking trail parallel to the Heiligenberger Steige. It leads past the Friendship Cave and offers a magnificent view of Heiligenberg Castle and across the Salem Valley to Lake Constance and the Alps. ________ Friendship cave A house was built into the rock as early as 1688, as evidenced by a chimney running through the rock today, but it seems to have suffered greatly over time due to its location on the weather side. The house was inhabited by a day laborer. In a petition to Prince Joseph Wenzel zu Fürstenberg from 1765, Hans Georg Sauter von Leustetten, the "hustle or rock man", complained that he had already been living in a very poor apartment in a rock next to the Heiligenberg for "around 30 years", called the Hülsele - which arose from the diminutive form ofhöhle = Hohle - had to be content.

When the weather is nice, you have a fantastic view over the Salem Valley.

Beautiful view of the Shcloss and the Salemertal. After the additional railings were attached to the Friendship Caves, the path is open again (all year round). 🙂
