The Fohlenhaus (House of the Foal) is a white limestone cliff with two cave entrances. The two small caves are of great archaeological interest. The name describes the strange form of the cliff, which resembles a horse or foal. The left cave portal is the space below the neck of the foal, the right cave is the gap between front and rear legs.
Both caves were excavated and are now completely empty. There were stone age findings, but they were not as spectacular as those at the other caves of the Lonetal. As a matter of fact, this caves are not mentioned very often. But they are located along the river valley, and if you follow the single track road down the valley, you will get there, so we mentioned it for completeness sake. There is a barbecue area in front of the caves, and this place is pretty popular among cyclists, hikers and families. It is a very comfortable and pleasant place for a rest.
