Hiking

The Kuil van Stoop is a pit in the Austerlitz forestry in the forests of Staatsbosbeheer north of Austerlitz. The pit has a diameter of about 15 meters and a maximum depth of about three meters and is 16 meters above sea level. In the nineteenth century, a deep borehole was drilled into the earth's crust in the pit. There is an information panel at the pit.
