context_page_description: The Aachtopf is Germany's biggest karst spring, located south of the western end of the Swabian Jura, near the town Aach. It produces an average of 8,500 litres per second. Most of the water stems from the River Danube where it disappears underground at the Danube Sinkhole, 12 km North near Immendingen and about 14 km North near Fridingen. The cave system has been explored since 1960´s, but as of 2020 only a small part has been discovered due to a large blockage after a few hundred meters.
