    Tips

    According to: .vfmg-grazing
    An impressive example of the eroding properties of water. The name may be confusing - with glaciers this hole has nothing to do - but the similarity with alpine glacier mills is given.

    Here it was the firing masses of water that were accumulated by the large granite boulders of the Waldnaab that had driven this hole into the granite rock by whirling (standing rolls).

      The glacier mill is another impressive swirl hole.

          Nicely located on the other side of the shore path.

            A short rest after a nice walk ?! Then you've come to the right place - beautifully situated in the shade under trees

              It's amazing what the power of water has brought about over time.

                Interesting stone formations in the middle of the stream. I can also imagine myself as a resting place or to keep my feet in the stream.

                  The untouched, mossy rocks in the water are truly impressive. The glacier mill is a particularly unique piece.

                    This is a duplicate of "Gletschermühle" komoot.de/highlight/1024491. (G)
                    The HL is incorrectly positioned, the object is approx. 2 km south.

                      There is a bench nearby for a short rest.
