Holiday Special

Journey to the Magic Mountain

Holiday tours of the Breitscheid Magic Mountain. The Herbstlabyrinth dripstone cave in Breitscheid offers extra guided tours during the Hessian school holidays. At Easter, in the summer, and in the fall, Magic Mountain tours take place. During the walk through the huge Knöpfchen Hall, there is always something new to discover: a wide variety of beautiful dripstone formations, cave walls shaped fascinatingly by water, water droplets sparkling in the light, and much more.

The well-trained cave guides can share plenty about the cave’s formation and its dripstones, the animals that live or have lived in the cave, and the work of cave researchers. On top of that, you can experience the very special atmosphere of the cave.

The journey to the Magic Mountain lasts one hour. Since the number of participants is limited for each tour and to avoid waiting times, it’s recommended to purchase tickets in advance. Let yourself be enchanted by the variety of dripstones in the best light and enjoy a unique guided experience in the Herbstlabyrinth Breitscheid show cave for one hour.

The Herbstlabyrinth Advent cave system is the largest cave system in Hesse and one of the most significant in Germany. Its total passage length currently exceeds 13,000 meters with a height difference of 102 meters. Knöpfchen Hall is the largest single chamber in the cave. In 2009, it was made accessible to the public via an artificial tunnel with 124 steps.

The Herbstlabyrinth show cave is one of the most modern show caves in Europe thanks to innovative lighting and a walkway made from GFK material, and it is the first dripstone cave with a complete LED lighting concept.

Tickets available online right here and via the ticket hotline 0231 917 2290.
