The spring water emerges from beneath the Bundstein sand layer and flows towards Reesberg. There, gypsum is dissolved by the small flowing currents and carried away. After several years, this created the Reesberg doline, where the water then disappears from the surface and continues to flow underground in the anhydrite.

The Reesberg doline lies on a geological boundary between the Bunter sandstone and the anhydrites of the Zechstein. The spring water emerging from the Bunter sandstone is very clear and therefore has a high dissolving potential. It can absorb up to two grams of gypsum per liter and then flows underground.
