Upon arriving in Boerne, you immediately recognize signs of the Texas Hill Country. The main streets are adorned with boutiques and high-fashion shops (the one I most recommend is Hot Dingo). In the center of the downtown area is a large gazebo, where live music is played and families frolick. Blocks away, at the Guadalupe River you can feed the ducks or even rent paddleboats.
However, Cave Without a Name, might be one of Boerne's more well-known attractions. Six-room tours of the caves display formations only dreamed up in the imagination of ancient Texas geology. Tours are $14 per adult, and $7 per child, which last about an hour. This tour would be perfect to escape the summer sun as the indoor temperature of the caves is like having your AC on high. http://www.cavewithoutaname.com/
As in much of this area of Texas, there is plenty of history to go around. The Kuhlman King Historical House/ Heritage Museum has collected Boerne's past and put it together for visitors to see. What Boerne also offers is the opportunity to check out Mexican free-tailed bats without having to battle Austin traffic. You can do this for free in the Old Tunnel Wildlife Management Area , evenings in May through October. Tours are available by reservation at 1-866-978-2287.
As typical of Texas towns, there is much more here than a funny German name.
