An emotional tour with Micha - First of all, a heartfelt thank you to the grotto guide "Micha", who explained this fantastic and fairytale world with his manner, but also the world above ground humorously with his knowledge and views. His way of thinking about everyone....also and especially those who are no longer so good "on foot" (we were underground with a tour group) has impressed us emotionally very strongly. Dear Micha, even if you, according to your own information, have been 395 years in this world...:-))...so we two wish you all the best!!, so that you can make many more visitors happy. Best regards Rita and Wolfgang

Very nice trip to the fairy worlds - The Fairy Grottoes in Saalfeld are an impressive cave world and a real highlight for visitors of all ages. The guided tour is excitingly designed and provides interesting insights into the history and origin of the colourful caves. The on-site gastronomy also impresses with a diverse and delicious offer. An all-round worthwhile excursion into a fascinating underworld!

Fairytale - It was very interesting and informative, coupled with a lot of humor. The caves show nature, the saga of the fairies is rounded off

Worthwhile excursion for the whole family - We had a few entertaining and interesting hours in the fairy grottoes. Not only the tour could captivate young and old, but also the museum (admission is included) could pass the time before the start of the tour. The snack bar boasts moderate prices and the playground offers not only enough seating for the parents, but also variety for the little ones. The parking fee is also within limits. In short, a trip that was really worth it.
