Scheibum, Water gap in Saulgrub and Wildsteig, Germany.
The Scheibum water gap stretches 600 meters in length and reaches depths of 60 meters, featuring silver rock walls against turquoise waters.
The natural formation emerged approximately 120,000 years ago during the Late Moraine Period when the Ammer River carved its path northward from the Alps.
The Meditation Trail includes this water gap, which received nature protection status in 1953 and remains an integral part of local geological heritage.
The water gap sits at 779 meters elevation and connects to established hiking paths, offering access points from both Saulgrub and Wildsteig communities.
The name Scheibum refers to circular pools where the Ammer River creates spinning water patterns after flowing through narrow passages.
