The Grundlose Loch is a hole in the ground with an area of about 190 square meters. At its bottom, about three and a half meters deep, there is a spring from which water that is about 10 degrees warm always bubbles. This water contains a lot of sulfate and flows directly into the Salza. The spring supplies about 8.5 percent of the Salza's water.

The Grundlose Loch is a sinkhole in the immediate vicinity of the Salza spring. It is in the shape of a circle with a diameter of about 15 meters, which corresponds to an area of around 190 square meters. In the middle of the hole there is a karst spring that supplies water at a constant temperature of around 10 degrees Celsius all year round with a high sulfate content of over 1200 milligrams per liter.
