    Tips

    Sinkholes are funnel-shaped depressions in the ground created by the collapse of the overburden into subterranean cavities. The Waltershöhle is one such sinkhole. The shafts were formed when seepage water dissolved the limestone, creating cavities that later collapsed. Although legend has it that the Waltershöhle extends all the way to Rottweil, Walter Bürk, a Schwenningen resident after whom it is named, only managed to penetrate one and a half meters into the sinkhole opening.

      Here you can see natural shafts where the underlying shell limestone was washed out by erosion.
