Wichtelhöhlen

The so-called Wichtelhöhlen — goblin caves — are a rock formation with small caves located near Bad Kissingen in Lower Franconia in the center of Germany. The formation of nearly 20 sandstone rocks in the valley of the Fränkische Saale dates back to the early Triassic period.

The "Wichtelhöhlen" consist of a particular type of sandstone typical for the area. They have their origin in the leaching of the Fränkische Saale. The so-called caves are merely cracks and voids between the broken slabs of sandstone.

The "Wichtelhöhlen" are special protected environmental area. Small animals are looking for protection during wintertime while they are making their hibernation or winter rest.
