Wolfloch Cave Sentheim : Sentheim Tourism

Description

In southern Alsace, Sentheim is home to the hills of the Vosges often formed of limestone and rock in which water hollow caves over thousands of years. The valley of the Doller contains one of the few caves in Alsace, the Cave of Wolfloch or Trou du Loup. Access to the cave was built by the House of Geology and Environment with the creation of the Wolfloch geological trail. The trail is 5-kilometer long, and can be traversed in three hours. During the walk, you can see rocks from palaeozoic era, mesozoic era, tertiary era, and quaternary era.

The House of Geology and Environment of Mulhouse invites you to enter the world of geology through its collection of fossils and minerals that tell 350 million years of history of the Earth.

At the end of the trail, exploration of the cave can begin. Accompanied by guides, and on reservation, visitors, equipped with headlamps or flashlights, come down into a cave at a constant temperature, summer and winter, (11 to 12 °C). The entrance is a staircase descent of about twenty meters leading to a corridor. This one, also twenty-meter long, leads to the main room from which start axial galleries, difficult to access . At the end of the trail, there is a 8-meter outcrop. At the heart of the cave, there are yellowish rocks and numerous fossils.
