A tunnelling construction worker examines the dripstone cave accidentally discovered during construction works for the future ICE high-speed train tunnel near Mausendorf, Germany, 03 April 2008. Hundreds of cubic metres of concrete miraculously disappeared during the construction works on Germany's longest railway tunnel before tunnelling workers dicovered a 25-metres long, 12-metres wide and nine-metres high dripstone cave. According to speleologists rushing in from all over Germany, the stalactites in the cave are the biggest ever dicovered in Germany, the longest one of 2.25 metres length. The cave is to be sealed with 900 cubic metres of concrete.
