Rock Art in Bavaria

A small 5m deep cave on private ground, which shows the probably only cave art in germany found yet (2011). The cave is covered with limescale which remembers on human genitals. On this limescale archaeologists found light engravings which where probably more than 10.000 years old. The cave chamber was possibly a fertility rite sanctuary. The exact location will be kept secret.
