Crystal Cave (Pennsylvania)
Crystal Cave is a cave near Kutztown in Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States, the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. It was found by William Merkel and John Gehret in 1871. Greenwich Township farmer Samuel D. F. Kohler bought of land, including the cave, for $5,000 in 1872. The next year he began charging 25 cents admission. The cave was used, at one time, for crop storage and dances were held in the largest room.
Some rock formations in Crystal Cave are a half-million years old. The lowest point, Devil's den, is below the Earth's surface and in it live thirty to forty North American brown bats. The highest point in the cave is below the Earth's surface, in an area that is called "Lookout Point", for it gives a view of two-thirds of the cave. The cave remains at , , and in different areas all year round. From the main entrance of the cave to the back of the cave, it measures long. One rock formation is called "The Upside-down Ice Cream Cone", for the different-colored calcite deposits that look like vanilla ice cream and chocolate ice cream, along with moss and plant life that looks like mint ice cream. Also, there is an enormous drop rock that separates a room in two creating a natural bridge.
