In the southern Hotzenwald: Strudellöcher at the Krai-Woog-Gumpen - a glacier mill?

Glacier mills are interesting remnants of the ice in areas that were once covered by glaciers. It is unclear whether the potholes at the Krai-Woog-Gumpen, the "loudly rushing waterfall in a depression", are this form of glacial erosion. The natural monument, which was only discovered and uncovered in 1955, is signposted in the surrounding area as a glacial mill, but the theory of its origin is now widely doubted. It is assumed that it is a purely fluvial form of erosion that only emerged in the post-glacial period. Regardless of this, the Gumpen is a nice excursion destination in an otherwise quiet part of the Black Forest, which invites you to take a relaxing afternoon trip. In addition to an extended walk through the Hotzenwald, visitors can expect great views from the Gugelturm and a section of the 7-Moore-Weg.
