The guide explained to us: The grotto in all colors, red, brown, white, yellow, sky blue to the green blue water, soft dripping from the ceiling, takes away dissolved minerals. Who already and then disappearing into the deepest tones, at one point diadochite has penetrated into something in physics, knows also that minerals are substances, all possible colors, again elsewhere Allophane, blue-green shingles- which also belong to Érze. Here we had to do with alum, iron and phosphorus learning, or melanterite in the tenderest sky blue. So these minerals drip with the water from the ceiling and build The waters of the grottos are strongly arsenic and deliver healing on the ground as a pedestal. From the ceiling, of course, just as. So ochre, in the immediate vicinity of these objects we find mostly green or even it can happen that both bases grow together and then a brown Pissophan Minerals; the background of the spring cave shows an own column form. However, the wealth of colors makes the fairy grottos, tedious petrified waterfall with several cascades. On the hike that reigns in them. We came to the three grottos, which with their lakes come through an approximately 175-meter-long grotto course to the lower beautifully reflected and shined in their color. Here grottoes, after the magnificent fairy tale dome, a natural wonder of rare the mountain guide also explained to us where this wealth of colors comes from. You know that every splendor, probably the most beautiful of the grotto, has its own colours here made of snow-white metal. These colours all blend together, fencing up the Gralsburg, on the left the "Chess game", an original stalactite- give a colorful picture, with which each grotto is equipped. Now we went form, to the right magnificent cascades. The fairydom has a length of in the most beautiful grotto, which the fairy grottos have to show off: in the fairytale 55 meters, next to a width of 13 meters and a height of 41⁄2 meters. dom. Everything seemed to us really fairy tale-like. Through spotlights we even find a bridge that spans the Grottensee. an artificial sunrise to sunset shown. At sunrise a jumping white deer came out in the background. Then the deer seemed to turn into a wolf, until then a magnificent white castle, called the Gralsburg, appeared. Who of you would not want to have been there when the miners first encountered this cave? Anyone who has not seen it himself can of course not make such a clear concept of it, and therefore I advise each one of you, should he come once to Saalfeld in Thuringia, he should not forget to look at the fairy grotesques, the coloured stalactite caves of Deutschiand. Heinz-Werner Plischke KLV.-Lager 187, Wickersdort (Thuringia) High visit to the camp in Freising was a vacationer. But no ordinary, but a very special one. Captain Voburger was a knight's crossbearer. Some girls had already seen him. One morning, Mrs Krüger and Miss Vielhaben followed an invitation from the mayor to honor the captain. At lunch, Mrs. Krüger told us that if we were good, she wanted to tell us something very fine. Curious as always, everything was immediately quiet.

Yes, it's like fairy tales, but different, like yours in the last hour, Mrs. Krüger was called on the phone. Gladly excitedly introduced. One thinks of Dunkie aisles, where you can play such a beautiful ghost she came back. "Children, close up, arrange everything, clean up, get flowers, can, or the girls at scary caves, where the creeping comes and the knight's crossbearer comes at 3 o'clock!" With joy howl stomped everything out- a bit running over your back. But that's not how they are - the fairies and other. I fetched flowers, lots of violets. Masses of flowers came together, groats. At the entrance of the cave, a guide awaits us in the costume of the miner. from each table there were two vases. Here were anemones and primers, He leads us first through a long passage to the youngest part of the grotto. There were Vellchen and on the table of the visit tulips and daffodils.
