    The late Ice Age moraine clay from which the earth pyramids are made is around 25,000 years old. The boulders on top are harder and have prevented the underlying clay from washing out. The result is the bizarre landscape forms seen here. The eroded steep slopes with the outstanding pyramids are up to 15 meters high. You can see them very well if you take the short detour to the viewing platform.

      Great view from the viewing platform, this time the clay is rather white... and when the sun shines on it at a special angle, the layers of earth shine very brightly. Great viewing platform, which is worthwhile (it is further up compared to the Keschtnweg).

        One of three places where you can admire earth pyramids on the Ritten.
