    Image: the Lange Stein with the Altenburg and he cave houses. A sketch by the Amtsrat Dr. W. Rimpau.

    The cave houses at Langenstein have a long tradition. They were used for centuries, until the first half of the 20th century. During the last decade of the 20th century, after the reunification of East- and West-Germany, the commune restored one cave house and opened it to the public.
