Description

Modern people were here for the first time about 43,000 years ago. Small figures made of mammoth ivory date from 40,000 to 35,000 years ago. These belong to the oldest works of art of mankind. Flutes made of swan bones and mammoth ivory, which are among the oldest known musical instruments, also show the high cultural development of man.

The Geißenklösterle can not be entered, viewing through the protective grid is possible.
