Hiking

Although I pass here every now and then, I only know this sinkhole dry. On October 10th, 2021 the ground was also quite bushy. It is the same effect from karst hydrology that we know from the Bauerngraben north of Roßla. A periodic pond or lake or a temporary lake is present at irregular intervals. Even in rainy years, the water does not necessarily collect if the drainage underground is free.

The horse pond is a Erdfallsee in the karst landscape of the nature reserve Hainholz.

The horse pond is currently dry, but still worth a trip!
