The sinkhole on the edge of the Elm was created by collapsing cavities within the shell limestone layers. It forms a funnel-shaped depression and is fed with water by springs
The sinkhole has a diameter of approx. 60 m and is surrounded by oak, hornbeam and field maple. An old orchard meadow can be found right next to the sinkhole. Many yellow cowslips bloom there in April / May.
