    Parallel to the chestnut avenue.
    Probably built from petrified trees, with two sandstone tablets.

    On the promenade of the Kyffhäuser town stands a small cone made of petrified wood in honor of brewery owner Eduard Joch.

    Here, in the forest on the Ratsberg, below the Kirchtal valley, stands a pyramid (also made of petrified wood).

    This pyramid, along with a small park, was built by the manor owner Otto Hermann in 1906. This complex was very well received by guests and the local population. But after the war, the new rulers showed no interest in the area and allowed it to become overgrown and decay. Only the stone monument commemorates that time.

    Interesting pyramid, which is not located directly on the main path.
    Unfortunately no description on site.
