Culture Underground
Children's Culture in the Devil's Cave Pottenstein is a series of events that moves puppet and children's theatre, as well as magic, to an extraordinary venue: the Teufelshöhle, one of Germany's most famous dripstone caves. The cave is located in Pottenstein in the Franconian Switzerland, district of Bayreuth, state of Bavaria. The organizer is the town of Pottenstein.
The Programme
The series is aimed at families with children and presents various performances throughout the year, including:
- Puppet theatre Pippi Longstocking in Taka-Tuka-Land based on Astrid Lindgren
- The Sams Returns on Saturday as a theatre and puppet play
- Räuber Hotzenplotz as a puppet show
- Children's magic show Magic to Participate In
A Unique Venue
The special feature is the performance location itself: the shows take place in the impressive dripstone cave, whose stalactites, halls, and special room climate create an incomparable atmosphere. For children, visiting the theatre becomes a double experience of story and cave adventure.
For the Whole Family
The plays are aimed at younger children, generally from around four years old. With moderate admission prices and the spectacular setting, the series is a popular excursion destination for families from the entire region.
