EN: The Heidenküche (heathen's kitchen) is located on the eastern flank of Kaltbrunnentals about 13 meters above the valley groud in the municipality of Himmelried.
The cave was first 1883 archaeologically investigated and significant relics from the Stone Age discovered, including a piece of a harpoon made of reindeer antler. Further studies followed in 1885 and 1890.
Unfortunately, the early findings were only superficially documented and preserved, leaving only remnants of original material available for a more scientific research in 1906.
DE: Die Heidenküche befindet sich an der Ostflanke des Kaltbrunnentals etwa 13 Meter über den Talboden auf dem Gemeindegebiet von Himmelried.
Die Höhle wurde erstmals 1883 archäologisch untersucht und bedeutende Relikte aus der Steinzeit entdeckt, darunter ein Stück einer Harpune aus Rentiergeweih. Weitere Untersuchungen folgten 1885 und 1890.
Leider wurden die frühen Funde nur oberflächlich dokumentiert und aufbewahrt, so dass für eine wissenschaftlichere Erforschung 1906 nur noch Restes des originalen Materials zur Verfügung stand.
