Cavern Tours Through the Meerane Underworld
Beneath the castle hill of Meerane lies an extensive network of underground passageways and caverns.
With an average annual temperature of 8°C to 12°C, only the walls break a sweat here, thanks to a humidity level of 98%.
The first underground chambers were likely excavated in the 14th century and used for storing food. Over the centuries, the entire site was repeatedly expanded and remodeled. Newly opened up in 1990, the complex covers an area of around 3,000 square meters; however, exploring the Meerane underworld covers a distance of around 350 meters.
During the roughly 60-minute tour, visitors descend up to eight meters below the earth's surface.
Guided tours take place every Thursday at 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. .
Admission prices
Cost: €4.00 for adults, €1.00 for concessions*, €9.00 for families
*Pupils, students, apprentices, federal volunteers, and military service members
Please note that children must be at least 4 years old to enter the caverns (Höhler), and children up to 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult!
