Local nameEberstadter Tropfsteinhöhle
LocationBuchen (Odenwald), Deutschland

The Eberstadt Stalactite Cave is a German show cave located in Bauland at the transition of Southeastern Odenwald forest in the North of Baden-Württemberg. It is near Eberstadt, a District of Buchen, around 70 kilometres east of Heidelberg and 100 km north of Stuttgart. The cave is around 600 metres long, lies 341 m above sea level and is estimated to be 3 to 5 million years old. It was discovered in December 1971 after blasting operations in a Muschelkalk quarry, and opened to the public in 1973. Since then it has been used as a show cave and is one of the attractions of the "Geo-Nature park Bergstrasse-Odenwald".

The cave entrance is angled several times and in some instances only 1.5 m high, and has halls up to 6-metre high. It lies in the lower Muschelkalk and contains rich stalactite ornaments such as slender and cone-like stalagmites and sinterflags, sinterterraces and crystals.
