"Breitachklamm" - Breitachflume
The Breitachklamm used to be called the big clamp. The location of the entrance to the Breitachklamm (only german) is not far from Tiefenbach. A unique miracle of nature!
“There the water of the Breitach boils, booms and whooshes” through the flume with nearly 100 meter high, vertical and overhanging walls. The water rushes over the high shelfs, bubbles through the deep flume and sprays into fine drops in which the light illuminates. Some of the gloomy walls of the flume have never seen the sun. The dark green moss and the delicate fern love the humidity and some spruces are growing on the shelfs.
Since 1905 the Breitachklamm has been made available as a trail. Encouraged by their reverend Johannes Schiebel was it a remarkable undertaking for the Tiefenbach citizen to build a trail where you can walk on.
Except during the snowmelt and in the late autumn you can walk on the trail all-the-year. For those who have been in the flume in the summer should see it in the winter. Huge icicles give you the feeling that you are in an ice palace.
Opening hours:
In the winter 9am – 4pm (last admission)
In the summer 8am – 5pm (last admission)
