We were here for the second time today. It's amazing how deep this sinkhole is. A refuge is close by. Only the dogs from the neighboring building are very annoying, they bark loudly all the time.

Hiking

The Dillsgraben in the Harplage ridge is a sinkhole near Königsdahlum in the Lower Saxony district of Hildesheim (Germany). Its funnel, naturally formed by subrosion (leaching) of easily soluble underground rock, in which there is a lake, has been designated as a 1.8 hectare natural monument (ND) since 1996. It's about 1000 years old.
