10,000-15,000 year old hole that was washed out of the "soft" sandstone by water and stone. An information board next to the hole explains the theory.

A strudel pot on the left side of the path is particularly worth mentioning. It's really interesting how nature can create such a perfectly round hole with a few rotating stones. The fact that this hole is also relatively deep is even more surprising when you realize that normally there is never any water to be seen in the stream
