The Höhlenkundliche Museum Speleological Museum is situated on the ground floor of the entrance to the Laichinger Tiefenhöhle. This is the only vertical cave in Germany which is open to the public as a show cave. With a depth of 90 metres and a total length of 1,372 metres, it is one of the most significant karst features in the Swabian Alb.
The Speleological Museum provides background information on the geology of karst regions, the formation of caves, archaeological and palaeontological finds, cave sediments, cave minerals and even cave exploration. A new addition is a multimedia installation on cave exploration in the Blauhöhle cave system. Here, several groups of cavers have explored some 20 kilometres of a highly branched cave system that drains the central Swabian Jura towards Blaubeuren and the Blautopf.
