The König-Otto cave is a natural karst cave near Sankt Colomann, a district of the Upper Palatinate town of Velburg in the Neumarkt district in the Upper Palatinate in Bavaria.
It is located southeast of Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate and is considered one of the most beautiful dripstone caves in Germany. It has a total length of 450 meters, with 270 meters being accessible during a 30 to 40-minute guided tour. The cave was discovered by shepherd Peter Federl on September 30, 1895, on the name day of the Bavarian King Otto, hence the name. In Advent 1972, another previously unknown part of the cave – the Advent Hall – was discovered, later accessed from the main cave and also made generally accessible. The cave is part of the show caves grouped together in the Erlebniswelt Jurahöhle.
