Vom Vulkan zur Eishöhle - geführter Einstieg in die Eishöhle

Apr 17, 2026 - Oct 9, 2026

Birresborn

Helmet on and lights on!

Anyone entering the Birresborn ice caves feels a chill at first. No wonder, with temperatures not exceeding 6 degrees all year round.

On site, you can have a good look around three different caves and find out what stories the caves can tell from 2000 years ago. Originally created by the mining of millstones, over the centuries the caves became an ice cellar and were highly valued as a refuge in times of crisis. Today, bats use the caves as winter quarters.

Duration: approx. 1.5 hours
