On the 18th of October, our chair used the golden October weather to explore the numerous caves and hills on the southern edge of Franconian Switzerland around Neukirchen near Sulzbach-Rosenberg. The highlight of our hike was a guided tour through the 16 meter deep Easter Cave. The dripstone cave impresses with a multitude of stalagmite and stalagtite formations, which grow over centuries in a particularly stable atmosphere (similar to that of our laboratories, only more humid). Many thanks to our guide for this insight under the ground!
