エンマータールの湖・トップ20

The "Holzhäuser sinkhole" is one of several water-filled sinkholes in rocks of the Upper Buntsandstein. It was formed more than 300 years ago as a result of underground leaching of Zechstein rock salt. Its diameter is 50 to 60 m and its volume is around 125,000 m³. The smaller double sinkhole, about 100 m further south, consists of two touching funnels and has a volume of about 55,000 and 20,000 m³.

If the lake is the goal of a tour, don't forget your towel! The lake is located in the flow area of the Saale, which is fed directly nearby from the mountain water of the Hils. The water quality is correspondingly good.

The area around the lake is currently being redesigned for flood protection. The water level has dropped, but the trail can still be walked on. At the moment, the "high" bank looks a bit desolate, but the vegetation will certainly beautify it again soon.

There is a circular path around the Bruchsee a little from the shore that you can cycle. A narrow hiking trail leads directly along the shore, is not so easy to cycle on, should be left to the hikers.

It is definitely worth taking a look into this hole.
