Any caves or underground places here in San Antonio? (New Braunfels: home, bars)

[txbullsfan]

Anyone know the GPS coordinates or closest address of the entrances to any underground caves here in San Antonio?

I saw the "Robber Baron Cave" on Google. Are there a couple of entrances to this cave?

Are there any more caves or tunnels here in San Antonio or within 10 miles outside 1604 in any direction?

Thanks

There are many caves in Bexar county, but they are all on private property. Don't think the landowners would be too happy with someone snooping around.

There are a few public caves in the area, but most are north of Bexar county a short distance.

Cave Without a Name is northeast of Boerne.

Cascade Caverns is just east of Boerne.

Bracken Cave is between Stone Oak and New Braunfels.

While not a cave, the Old Number 9 Tunnel is an abandoned rail tunnel southeast of Fredericksburg that is home to a large bat colony. There is an observation deck where you can watch the bat emergence, and it's right next to Alamo Springs Cafe, which you'll appreciate if you're a burger fan!

Note that for the Bracken Cave, and Old Number 9 tunnel, you don't want to go exploring, they are protected bat habitats, and you'll be knee deep in guano.

There's a cave entrance in the new Stone Oak Park. The city has erected metal barriers to keep people out of it.

Where there was one entrance inside of 1604 and Blanco about one mile southwest and there are steel bars across to keep people out there too. It however looked more like a recharge sinkhole, very deep and was actually only an enormous pit dissolved in limestone with a a four foot entrance that from the opening went straight down. You could look down the hole and see the sides , it looked like a cavern, however there was no visible bottom to it. Right outside the entrance of an old limestone quarry.

I am sure there are underground places in San Antone due to the karst geology of the area.I think there are various caverns around the area that are tourist attractions.

There’s a thread, Tunnels or underground passages in SA
that begins in 2007 all the way to 2016.

There's a cave at the dam/nature fields in Alamo Heights. I can't remember the closest streets but you can find it in a map. It's in between Olmos Park, 281, and Alamo Heights. There's also a nice a nature park/Forrest.
