The Devil's Cave is a dripstone cave located in the town of Pottenstein, Bavaria, Germany. The cave is 1,500 metres long and is the longest in Germany and the largest in Franconian Switzerland.
The cave as it is today was discovered in 1922 but has been known to locals for many years. The cave is named for the disappearance of livestock in the vicinity of the cave being attributed to the Devil. Centuries later, after the cave had been fully explored, the missing livestock as well as numerous other animals including deer and cave bears were discovered to have fallen into the cave and died. One of these cave bear skeletons has been reconstructed and can be seen on the tour of the cave.
