From 4 October only cave visit possible!
From 4.10.2022, unfortunately, only the cave can be visited. Our construction work makes this necessary. That's why we have "happy hour" prices during the time when only the cave can be visited. Please bring rain protection, depending on the weather. The way to the cave and back is via partly steep (and in the rain slippery) forest paths. Please also note the information on the alternative car park. You will receive further information on site. Kind regards from the HEZ team!
We are open!
As of 01.06.22, the official Corona protection measures no longer apply.
We still recommend following the AHA rules (distance+hygiene+day-to-day with mask).
A general reservation obligation no longer exists.
The archeological Museum
The museum above ground is dedicated to the sensational research results from the Lichtenstein Cave located near Osterode am Harz. Nearly 3000 years ago the cave was the burial site of a Bronze Age family clan. Even living probable descendants of the family have been found.
The Iberg
The Iberg rises above Bad Grund as an impressive limestone massif – a geological rarity in the Upper Harz Mountains. 385 million years ago, it has been formed as a coral reef in the South Sea.
The Iberg Dripstone Cave
Millions of years old, the cave with its sinter cascades and large stalagmites lies deep inside the Iberg mountain. Its unusual formation process, which involved the weathering of iron ore, and its association with historic mining make it unique in Europe.
English Cave and Museum Tours
The entrance fee encludes a guided tour of the cave in German and an museum audio guide in English. English tours for groups or outside the normal opening hours can also be booked. A booking in advance is necessary.
We are open!
We look forward to welcoming
you soon!
