Visit to Pottenstien

Yesterday Kyle and I went to a little village called Pottenstien. It is a little over an hour drive from our home. We went to check out the Teufelshohle Cave (Devil's Cave). This cave has been part of legends and folklore around our area for centuries. Inside the cave they have found prehistoric animals including bears, and a mammoth. We really had a good time. We were told that their would be an English tour via a speaker system. I thought it would be one of those things that you put up to your ear and listened to, not to disturb anyone. But when we arrived at out tour, it was all in German, I asked the guide about English and she instructed us that she would play the English version for us after she did the German part and we would just meet them in the next room. So our English tour came on the loud speaker and echoed throughout the cave, it was like..."HELLO...American's are here!" It didn't exactly say that, but it might as well have.
After the cave we got a chance to ride the alpine coaster and the toboggan run. They were so much fun. Kyle and I rode together hoping that the weight of the two of us would make us go faster. It helped alot, we always seemed to be catching up to the people in front of us, at which point we would have to slow down so we didn't run into them. Once you get in your coasterbob you get pulled up to the top of the mountain, then at the top you get to control how fast you go and at any point you can hit your breaks. We used our breaks as little as possible, at times I was sure we were going to go flying off the tracks.I have included a video that shows both the coaster and tobaggan ride down. I have also posted a few pictures from the cave. Enjoy!
