The Glacier Mill, also known as Krai-Woog-Gumpen, is a waterfall and glacial mill in the Southern Black Forest, more precisely in the Schwarzenbächletal valley near Görwihl. It was probably formed by glacial erosion during the Ice Age and was only discovered and excavated in 1955. The name, of Alemannic origin, means "loudly rushing waterfall."
