Sinkhole III - Fridingen a. d. Donau

Welcome to Sinkhole III - Fridingen a. d. Donau

The Danube flows into two oceans! A unique natural phenomenon. Near Fridingen, in the heart of the Upper Danube Valley, lies the third major sinkhole of the Danube’s underground flow in the Donaubergland region. Near Fridingen in the Danube Valley, a large portion of the Danube’s water also sinks into the ground.It has been proven that here, too, Danube water constantly sinks into the riverbed and later resurfaces at the Aach spring after flowing underground beneath the hills toward the southwest. Between the second main sinkhole near Immendingen and this additional major sinkhole near Fridingen, the Danube draws water back in through its tributaries. In addition to the Krähenbach near Möhringen, these are primarily the Elta in Tuttlingen and the Bära in Fridingen, which transport water from the Heuberg into the Danube via the so-called Upper and Lower Bära up to Fridingen. This third major sinkhole of the Danube seepage system is located directly near the Danube Cycle Path from Fridingen toward Beuron. This means that all three info points on the Danube seepage system can be reached by bike via the **[Danube Cycle Path in the Donaubergland](https://www.donaubergland.de/donauradweg/)**. A new **[info point](https://www.donaubergland.de/info-points-zur-donauversickerung-sind-eroeffnet/)** marks the location and provides important background information.
