Schleifmühlklamm, Narrow canyon and waterfall in Unterammergau, Germany.
The Schleifmühlklamm stretches 500 meters through limestone formations, with multiple cascading waterfalls and natural pools along the Schleifmühlenlaine stream.
From the 15th to 20th century, several mills operated in the gorge, producing whetstones from the local siliceous limestone extracted from nearby quarries.
The restored Schneiderla's Schleifmühle mill and museum at Gasthof Schleifmühle present the traditional methods of whetstone production in the region.
The secured hiking path through the gorge maintains a 60-meter elevation difference and remains accessible throughout the year without entrance fees.
The canyon houses multiple decommissioned grinding mills that produced specialized whetstones, now classified as significant geotopes in Bavaria.
