Drachenhöhle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Drachenhöhle (Dragon's Cave) is a cave near Mixnitz, Styria, Austria, south-east of Bruck an der Mur at an elevation of 950 m. During a shortage of fertilizers during World War I sediments were dug in the cave.[1] While soldiers were digging, they discovered numerous bones of cave bears, first thought to be dragons, remains of open hearths and Palaeolithic stone tools.[1] Dated to between 65,000 and 31,000 B.C., these are some of the oldest traces of life in Austria.[1]
