    The formation of the Breitachklamm
    The formation of the Breitachklamm began approximately 10,000 years ago, when the melting Breitach Glacier began to saw through the Schrattenkalk of the Engenkopf, and the water slowly ate its way into the rock.
    In 1905, this miracle of creation, of unique beauty and grandeur, was opened to the public at the suggestion of Tiefenbach pastor Johannes Schiebel.
    Today, the Breitachklamm near Oberstdorf captivates over 300,000 visitors annually.
