The sinkhole near Ulfen occurred on November 6th, 1881 at midday.
Part of the earth's surface collapsed.

A sinkhole is a funnel-shaped depression on the earth's surface that is created by the collapse of a natural cavity in the subsoil. The reason for this is the dissolution of easily soluble rocks (rock salt, gypsum, limestone) in the subsoil.

The sinkhole is on private property, please do not trespass on the property.
