The Melchiorbrunnen sinkhole spring has a shelter. The Kainsprung sinkhole spring is in the immediate vicinity.

The spring area west of Oberdorla is of great importance for the region's drinking water supply. These deep sinkhole springs are of particular interest to karst and cave researchers. VÖLKER (1983) reported: "The bottom of the Melchiorbrunnen consists of meter-high lime mud, the depth of which could not be determined. The water pushes through the lime mud and causes it to bubble. At the bottom there are tree remains that are completely encrusted with lime."
