Less than 20 minutes north of Boerne, you’ll find one of the unique places in Texas. This place isn’t visible on a drive-by or even from the parking lot.
Wondering why it is called “Cave Without a Name?”
Well, the cave staff had a contest for the best name and a young boy decided it was too amazing to have a name so hence it was named.
How to Find the Cave
Cave Without a Name, a limestone solution cave, is located 11 miles northeast of Boerne, Texas off FM 474 and Kreutzberg Road. The cave is less than 40 miles from downtown San Antonio. It has been commercially operated as a show cave and open for public tours since 1939.
It is designated a National Natural Landmark and is a member of the National Cave Association. Descend 126 steps to approximately 80 feet below the surface where nature maintains a temperature of 66 degrees, year round. The complexity of formations makes the first visit and every subsequent visit an awakening experience of nature’s artwork.
The Queen’s Throne Room hosts memorable events throughout the year (concerts, weddings, conferences, and more).
Enhanced by the incredible natural dome acoustics and the splendid natural backdrop, the Queen’s Throne Room is a featured destination for an unforgettable experience.
Getting to The Cave
The cave is easy to find. Just type it in your GPS and follow the directions. Parking is free, there are public restrooms and even a gift shop with snacks and water if you need some.
Pictures are highly encouraged in the cave. The stairs going back up can be a little steep for those who may have trouble climbing stairs but you are free to take your time.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the cave and let us take our time walking through, getting pictures and even answered a ton of questions.
It wasn’t cold inside even at 66 degrees but I do recommend bringing a light jacket if you get cold easily. It was damp and muddy so proper footwear is a must.
I did make reservations and might go back for a concert in the cave! I think that would be very cool.
