Where are the "Gip's?".

To the ‘Gipslöchern’ in Oberlech.
The "Gipslöcher" conservation area has over 1000 sinkholes and is regarded as being an exceptional geological feature in all of Europe. The biggest sinkhole measures about 100 metres in diameter and its craters extend down 35 metres into the earth. This place is not just of special interest to nature lovers but for our little explorers too!
