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.

Maidenhole At around 1000 m above sea level. NHN on the northeast slope of Lemberg lies the cave or crevice known as Jungfrauenloch in the White Jurassic rock. The name can be traced back to a local legend. Around the year 1170, the county of Hohenberg, to which the district of Gosheim belonged at the time, and its lord Burkhard I of Habsburg were mentioned for the first time. Around 1230, the future Roman-German King Rudolf I of Habsburg married the daughter of Count Burkhard III of Hohenberg, Gertrudis of Hohenberg. Her loyal Gaus, also known as “Gotso” in Middle High German, carried out the planning tasks and the organization of finances for her. The name of the community of Gosheim is said to have come from Gaus. After marrying Rudolf von Habsburg, Gaus stayed with the countess' niece, Gertrudis von Oberhohenberg, for whom he also managed the business excellently. But the young woman's brother was so angry and jealous about the popularity of Gertrudis and Gotso that he set the castle on fire at night in the absence of Gotso, who was hunting. Only Gertrudis is said to have escaped the terrible fire with all her jewelry and money and is still hidden today in the “Jungfrauenloch”, a deep crevice in the rock on the Lemberg. Only a key word can free her from her captivity to the dark forces. The story of Gertrudis von Oberhohenberg and her loyal friend Gaus is performed every five years as a village play at Fasnet. There are also legends surrounding the so-called “Giant Forest” on the Lembergsattel. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemberg_(Schw%C3%A4bische_Alb)

Lourdes grotto to Elsenau. Apparently quite popular considering the number of benches. However, it was fully flooded during the last storm, since this is a grotto. But it got off relatively lightly and it was restored with a lot of personal work.

The Mary depicted here is that of Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by a large number of people every year, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Mother of God has spread widely, not only in France, and believers have built Lourdes chapels and grottos everywhere. The ecclesiastical memorial day "Our Lady of Lourdes" is on February 11th, this is the anniversary of the apparition of Mary (1858), when the Mother of God appeared to the 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto not far from Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of only 35. On December 8 (the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary) 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI. The commemoration of the Lourdes Madonna is also World Day of the Sick.

Very small entrance - whether there is a larger cave behind it? Is it the cave from the saga where the girl with the dog is trapped?
