cool little piece of history of John Kelpius who went here in 1694 while he awaited the end of the world. (haha) This was his meditation cave. They say someone improved it into a springhouse around 1850.
Wow. This is incredible. Unique history. Quiet spot. Worth the short hike.
The best! I should know as I lived and grew up in the little cottage house shown here from 1966 to 1983 when it had to be taken down but it's ruins are still there!
Phenomenal cave. I walked two hours to get here and it was worth every minute. A kind man even granted my friends and I some alone time with the cave so we could truly savor the experience. Could not recommend enough.
In Wissahickon park, not far or hard to get to. But don’t expect much it’s a tiny single room. Story is interesting and worth a read though. Apparently it was apart of a cult in the 1600’s
