Kind invitation
At first glance, the Swabian Alb is a charming landscape. At second glance, it is a stunning window into the past. And at third glance, it is a precious treasure we have to preserve.
Discover abundance, experience it with all senses and develop a deep understanding of coherences – that is the chord we make sound at the UNESCO Global Geopark Swabian Alb
Have fun while you discover, experience, and understand!

On the road in the UNESCO Swabian Alb Geopark
The Laichinger Tiefenhöhle cave offers fascinating insights into the underworld of the Swabian Alb. Of the approximately 2,800 known caves in the Alb, only twelve are accessible to visitors. The Laichinger Tiefenhöhle is the only accessible shaft cave.
Around 600 steps lead through narrow passages and large halls up to 55 meters below ground. In the cool, damp air and the special silence of the cave, you quickly lose track of time. Back on the surface, the cave museum provides information about the caves of the Swabian Alb, their exploration, and their former use.

What are UNESCO Global Geoparks? What are their goals?
Impetus for sustainability
Sustainability is about appreciation and originates at the tip of one's own nose. From me to you, from small to large, from regional to global issues. Impetus for sustainability from the Swabian Alb.
In best company
Swabians are indeed humble, but this much pride is allowed. As a UNESCO Global Geopark, we rank alongside the most beautiful landscapes in the world. What a distinction.
