Hike to the Lieglloch

Closed
In the Lieglloch the bear was loose: In the mysterious cave above the valley of Tauplitz stone-age relics were found - among others bones of bears. Today, however, the place is also popular because of the great view of the Grimming and Kulm.

The cave is located north of the center of Tauplitz.

Secrets await you on this tour: High above the valley of Tauplitz at the foot of the Bergerwand lies the "Lieglloch", where Stone Age relics and cave bear bones have been found. Presumably, the 15 m wide and 10 m deep cave served as a shelter, hunting station and cult place.

In front of the cave entrance there is a small bench where you can rest comfortably. Simply marvel at the cave and let your imagination run wild about what could have happened here in Stone Age days.
