    This stepped cone, popularly known as a stone pyramid, is the only one in Central Europe and is located on a striking place of power.

      The stone pyramid is part of the Groß Gerungs power arena, which includes a total of 5 objects or spaces. These places invite you to pause and linger to feel the different qualities of the room, from invigorating to soothing. Star-shaped geomantic positive lines and clockwise water veins run through the pyramid, making the area a special place of power. It is still an archaeological puzzle.

      The hiking tour starts at the car park in Etzen next to GH Mathe, where you can buy divining rods if you are interested, and leads to the impressive stone pyramid. This is located in the Neuwald near Ober Neustift and consists of circular steps with a total height of 6.8 m. The diameter of the bottom step is 16.5 m, that of the top step 7.2 m. Star-shaped geomantic positive lines and clockwise water veins run through the pyramid, making the area a special place of power. It is still an archaeological puzzle. It is still unknown when it was built and what purpose it served. Two elevated observation points allow a good view of the object protected by a fence. You can explore the square yourself and let it work for you, or take a guided tour by appointment (information at kraftarena.at or at the Groß Gerungs city office). Part of the pyramid has now slipped. A reconstruction without impairing the energetic peculiarity of this place is unfortunately not possible according to the current state of knowledge.

        Unfortunately, the pyramid is no longer in perfect condition, as the older photos show. The north side is slightly damaged, the south side really slipped. Still a nice target to an unknown object. Apparently it is unclear who built the pyramid, what for and when.
