Wolkenbrüche bei Trendelburg, Geological sinkhole formation in Trendelburg, Germany.

The Wolkenbrüche consists of two distinct sinkholes: the Wet Sinkhole with a water-filled basin and the Dry Sinkhole measuring 23 meters deep.

The sinkholes formed over millions of years through the dissolution of Zechstein salt deposits beneath the earth's surface, creating substantial underground cavities.

Local folklore tells of Trendula, a giantess who murdered her sister and was struck by lightning, causing the ground to open and swallow her.

The natural monument lies 1 kilometer east of Trendelburg's center, accessible through marked trails with parking facilities available along the L763 road.

The Wet Sinkhole stands as the largest collapse crater in the Upper Weser sandstone region, reaching depths of 60 meters with an internal lake.
