A 35 m long collapse doline cave in heavily jointed calcareous marls and marly limestones; the fenced entrance leads into a stepped chamber whose shaft floor was once covered by a large rubbish heap.
Description
Morphologie
It is a 35 m long collapse doline cave within the heavily jointed calcareous marls and marly limestones of the Oerlinghausen Formation (Middle Turonian, formerly "lamarcki beds"). The right chamber is stepped. The rock cavity on the right appears to have been formed by corrosion.
Hydrologie
When the Sauer level still lay several metres higher, the Sauer from Atteln made a bend to the north. Possibly there is an old sinkhole near the cave.
Progression
The shaft floor consisted of a large rubbish heap that allows narrow squeeze-through passages between rubbish and rock in two directions. The rubbish has since been removed. The cave entrance is fenced.
