North Rhine Zoo and Cave - Westphalia

In Germany, in Warstein, you will find the Bilstein Valley. An animal park with a stalactite cave and, as is often the case in the German parks, beautiful nature.

During our vacation in Winterberg, we drove to Naturerlebnis Bilsteintal in Warstein in 3 quarters of an hour.

You often see combined parks in Germany. An animal park with something else. In the Bilstein Valley, they have a real Dripstone Cave that you can visit with a guide!

The story is that the cave was discovered because people kept seeing a hare disappear but did not see it come back from the same hole. A stone that was thrown in gave a huge echo, causing them to find out that there was a large space underneath.

The cave was inhabited, and many animals lived there during the Ice Age, many of which were still found skeletons. There are 3 caves that are linked to each other by a system. The part you'll walk through during the tour is the stalactite cave.
