    Hiking

    The sinkholes themselves are fascinating geological formations created by the subsidence of layers of soil. They are of different sizes and offer a unique setting for walks and hikes.

    A visit in spring or summer is particularly recommended, when nature is in bloom and the sinkholes are surrounded by lush greenery. But the region also has its charm in autumn and winter and offers a picturesque backdrop for nature lovers and hikers. All in all, the sinkholes in the Werratal around Bad Salzungen are a worthwhile destination that should not be missed when traveling in the region.
