    Tips

    The sinkhole near Ulfen occurred on November 6, 1881, at midday.

    A section of the earth's surface collapsed.

    A sinkhole is a funnel-shaped depression in the earth's surface, formed by the collapse of a natural cavity in the subsurface. This is caused by the dissolution of easily soluble rocks (rock salt, gypsum, limestone) underground.

    The sinkhole is located on private property; please refrain from entering the property.

      A still active sinkhole near Ulfen, where the view of the collapsed sinkhole and the associated information boards explain how it was created.
