The Reckenhöhle was named after its discoverer and owner
Franz Recke.
It is located in the lovely Hönnetal (Hönne valley) close to the
Balver Höhle.
The light system of the cave was replaced several times during more than a century of cave tours. The switch panel of the first electric installation is today on display in the Dortmunder Museum (Museum of Dortmund). At this time the electricity was generated by a turbine.
During excavations in the cave a cave bear and mammoth teeth were found, which are on display in the Heimatmuseum Menden. The most impressive hall of the cave is the Paradies with a diameter of 30m.
