The 'Unicorn Cave' Between the towns of Herzberg and Bad Lauterberg exists an important area of Permian dolomite formations with caves and special cliffs of dolomite rock with the particular location Unicorn Cave in the centre. Even the name of this cave sounds mysterious. For hundreds of years, digging for the bones of the unicorn had been the foremost interest. The cave - home of thousands of cave-bears - has been famous and well known even far beyond the Harz-mountains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
