Erdstall im Waldviertel - neues Endstück

An "Erdstall" is an artificial cave. Numerous such caves have been built in the Middle Ages. The name "Erdstall" is not associated with "Stall" (= "stable"), but points to a spot (= Stelle). All of them have only one entrance and adit and winding tunnels are very narrow. Sometimes there is an extra narrow passage built in ("Schlupf") and in other sites small chambers are connected with the tunnel. Overall length is rarely more than 50m. They can be found in Ireland, Cornwall, some Scottish isles, the Bretagne and Central France, southern and central Germany, Upper and Lower Austria, Moravia, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland.
