Round granite blocks lie impressively on top of and next to each other in the Doost. The water of the Girnitzbach rushes beneath them. Popular belief interprets them as the work of giants, and the devil is also brought into play in the legends. In fact, the Doost goes back to a long geological process that began millions of years ago.
