    Hiking

    The Zigeunerloch is mystical, a nice place to relax in the forest.

    Hiking

    The Gypsy Hole is actually a rock wall with large fallen and mossy stone blocks. This belongs to the reef limestone of the Malm epsilon and zeta, a layer of the upper white Jura, which was formed about 150 million years ago. It is conceivable that here an old sinkhole was filled with sands from the chalk layer formed above, the softer rock of which was later eroded away.
