This Magical Unicorn Cave in Germany is Stunning. I know what you are thinking, why is this cave called the Unicorn Cave when unicorns aren’t even real? Or, are they? Did unicorns exist? I can almost hear you thinking, is that a real unicorn fossil in front of that cave? If you don’t believe in unicorns, maybe after reading this post you will?
Surrounding the Unicorn Cave, there was a beautiful forest with trails to walk.
The sign on this tree points visitors in the direction of the cave which is called “Einhornhöhle.” In English, that’s “Unicorn Cave.”
Settled by Neanderthals over 100,000 years ago, this natural cave is 1,969 feet (600 meters) deep of open tunnels in the Harz Mountains.
Even though we’ve explored many underground wonders such as caves and tunnels in the USA and abroad, this is the most magical and beautiful cave that I have ever seen. We love to learn by hands-on studying and exploring history, geology, cultures, and more via different underground wonders in this world.
Unicorns in History
Unicorns are written about in the Bible. For example, Job 39:9-10 (KJV) the King James Version of the Bible talks about unicorns. In the Bible, the word unicorn is actually a translation from a Jewish folklore beast known as the re’em.
Greeks believed in Unicorns as real animals.
Even William Shakespeare said, “Now I will believe that there are unicorns.”
Unicorns are Real

Why not stop and look for unicorn bones, and see a stunning cave? Wait, there is even more that I must make sure to include in this post according to my three boys. Now, this is important, the rocks and dirt outside and all around the cave were glittery and rainbowed colored. Yes, seriously!! Even after 30 minutes of looking at the ground and gathering rocks, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to even get my boys to join the cave tour.
My boys were super excited to just spend some 30 minutes examing and collecting some of these rocks and gems!
