The Wimbachgries is a special natural phenomenon: The gravel mass, which is up to 300 m wide and around 10 km long, is ground dolomite rock that is still in motion, even though the Wimbach runs underground here. Particularly during heavy rain, the debris flow rises, moves and changes the landscape.
