Right here, the Danube disappears completely underground for about 155 days, flows through a cave system, and re-emerges in Aach (the Aach spring is the largest spring in Germany). The Danube Sinkhole cave is shown schematically on the map next to this text.

Hiking

If you walk along the water-bearing part of the Danube, you can hear a rushing sound in some places. These are the places where the Danube is disappearing.

In many places, it is clearly visible that the current flows sideways or even backwards. This is an unmistakable sign of a seepage point.
