Scheibum
Coordinates: 47 ° 39 ′ 53 ″ N , 10 ° 59 ′ 13 ″ E
The (also) Scheibum , also called the Ammer breakthrough , is a rock breakthrough of the Ammer in Upper Bavaria . It forms the beginning of the Ammer Gorge , which extends from here about 20 kilometers downstream.
location
The rock breakthrough is about 400 meters downstream (north) of the bridge at the Kammerl hydropower plant on the border between the communities of Saulgrub in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district and Wildsteig in the Weilheim-Schongau district . The next settlements are the Saulgruber district Achele and the Wildsteiger district Peustelsau . The valley floor is at 779 m above sea level. NHN , the neighboring high banks at about 820 m above sea level. NHN .
Emergence
Years ago, 120.00, while between the Riss glaciation and Würm glaciation lying Eemian , changed the Ammer, previously on the Ettaler Saddle east to Loisach flowed, its course to the north. It formed a breakthrough on a former circular mountain , into which it then dug itself deeper and deeper.
description
The river bed of the Ammer, which runs above the Scheibum between wide gravel banks , squeezes through between red Nagelfluh banks that are only a few meters apart at the breakout point . Behind the narrowest point, pools have formed on the sides in which the water partially flows in a circle. The name "Scheibum" (= around) is traced back to these pools.
geology
At the outcrop are clay marl and building block layers of the Lower Sea Molasse from the Lower Oligocene and Weißach layers of the Lower Freshwater Molasse from the Upper Oligocene . The rock types that occur include conglomerate , marlstone and sandstone .
natural reserve
The rock breakthrough is designated as Ammerschlucht on the Scheibum as geotope no. 180R010 with the classification “particularly valuable”.
A nearly two kilometer long section of the Ammerschlucht downstream of the Scheibum has been a nature reserve with the number NSG-00066.01 and the name Ammerschlucht in the Scheibum area since 1953 .
