Bucher Caves (Silversand Caves)

Highlight • Cave

Doesn't look very spectacular from the outside but I was really pleasantly surprised. It's a small maze with branches and dead ends, which is great for kids too. You can't get lost, but you can play hide and seek 😜.

May 11, 2025,Runde von Postbauer-Heng auf den Dillberg und zur Kaltenbachquelle
