Summary[edit]

Description
Deutsch: „Forellenloch“, eine ca. 420 m lange Wasserhöhle im Karst, am Rande des Albuchs, Schwäbischen Alb. Die permanent schüttende Quelle tritt aus der Wohlgeschichteten Kalk-Formation des Weißjura aus. Als Wasserstauer wirken hier wie bei zahlreichen anderen Karstquellen die Unteren Weißjuramergel. Den Zugriff zum Wasser sicherten sich die Herren über Stadt und Land, indem sie sich nahe der Höhlenöffnung eine Stadtburg bauen ließen und zusammen mit Kirche und Häusern der Untertanen durch eine Stadtmauer wehrhaft machten. Das Wasser hinter der Burg, heute ein Schloss, sicherten sich die Grafen von Rechberg (ausschließlich?) für das Schloss und die ehemalige „Gräflich-Rechberg'sche Brauerei“, indem sie die Wasserquelle faßten.
Das Schloss Weißenstein und der Ort Weißenstein gehören seit der Verwaltungsreform von 1974 zum Ort Lauterstein. Das Schloss ist heute im Privatbesitz eines Instituts für Mikrofotografie.

English: The “Forellenloch” is a water cave at a valley in “Weißenstein” (Lauterstein), a subsection of the eastern Swabian Alb called „Albuch“. Until 1974 Weißenstein was a small municipal of its own, with all rights of a medieval town (“Stadtrechte” since 1384). The position of the castle was strategically chosen to always protect the main medivial water supply for the sole use by the count, his court and his former brewery. For this purpose the cave spring had a tunnel waterway.
