The Eberstadt Stalactite Cave (or Eberstadter Tropfsteinhöhle) is a German show cave located in Bauland at the transition of Southeastern Odenwald forest in the North of Baden-Württemberg. It is near Eberstadt, a District of Buchen, around east of Heidelberg and north of Stuttgart. The cave is around long, lies above sea level and is estimated to be 3 to 5 million years old.
