The Benno Cave is a rock cave formed by sandstone debris blocks in the Bielatal in Saxon Switzerland. It is located south of the Ottomühle, above the Biela on the orographically left side of the valley and is accessible to visitors. The cave is approximately 35 meters long and 13.5 meters deep.
The cave, which has been known for a long time, was made accessible for the first time in 1824 by the Rosenthal forester Puttrich and the owners of the Ottomühle and Wormsmühle in the Bielatal. The aim was to attract hikers and tourists, who were discovering the Saxon Switzerland as a romantic landscape at that time. It was first described in 1825 by the cave and nature researcher Carl Merkel, who also described other caves and sights of the Bielatal.
