Later erosion created some steep walls in the loess areas, which today are up to 6 m high and represent valuable biotopes . The Wörschberger Hohl , which leads from Dirmstein to Wörschberg and is classified as a natural monument , is a ravine with such steep walls. Like the Chorbrünnel, it is a stop on the Chorbrünnel circular route .
