Fohlenhaus Caves

Highlight • Cave

The resemblance of the Fohlenhaus to a horse sculpture is unmistakable. It is fitting that such a sculpture symbolizes the prehistoric finds in the Lone Valley. In this area of the Lone Valley, the Fohlenhaus with its steeply rising rock needle is a true highlight of the Ostalb.

This hike today was simply wonderful. I couldn't have done it better. One side of the circle was beautifully covered in frost, the other side was in the sun and even provided a little warmth. All paths were cleared with 2.3 exceptions, so no tree hopping today 😁
