Earth pyramids consist of clay piled up in a cone shape and the boulders lying on top. They can arise in soils made from late glacial moraine clay, which remains here on the Ritten from the Eisacktal main glacier and some local secondary glaciers. These soils are rock hard when dry, but as soon as it rains they turn into a soft paste and slide away, forming steep slopes 10 - 15 meters high.
Further rainfall washes out these slopes, but if there are rock fragments in the softer earth material, the clay under these rocks is protected from the rain and while the surrounding material is eroded further and further by the weather, the earth pyramids literally grow out of the ground.

The view is really great. Not only can you see the star, you can also look down into the valley to Maria Saal and the Ers Pyramids.
