      The Träbeser Loch is located directly on the main west-east 3 hiking trail not far from the Träbes district of Stepfershausen.
      It is 27 m deep and has a diameter of about 80 m.
      Leaching in salt and gypsum underground formed cavities that broke through to the surface of the earth.
      A huge sinkhole was created in the Lower Muschelkalk.
      Nothing is known about the exact age of the sinkhole, but it is mentioned as early as 1700.
