    A shaft about 5 m deep with no visible continuation.

      Einsturzschacht on Karstwanderweg. Around 1900, a cavity collapsed here, consisting of penetrating stinking slate (the stone smells intense when rubbed against each other) through karstified Werra anhydrite underneath, leaving behind only the shaft. Is very nicely explained on the board.

        Very interesting rock appearance in the Harz. Today you can unfortunately only see the collapse shaft, but all information about the chimney is listed on the information board.
