    Tips

    August 1, 2022

    In the Cimbrian language it means 'Stone House': according to legend, it is the home of the ogre who lives in the woods of Roana and who takes capricious children and brings them here until they come to their senses... 'Be quiet or I'll call the' ogre who takes you to the Stonhaus'!

    A chasm that was created with the collapse of the vault of an enormous karst cave: about 20m in diameter (but it descends like an inverted funnel) and at least 30m deep. The stone arch and the vegetation and trees that grow from the bottom are characteristic.

    It's impressive how this 'mouth' goes unnoticed and invisible just by passing a few meters away: then you get closer and a spectacular chasm opens up, swallowing up the forest! Until 2022 it wasn't even fenced off by a demarcation rope, making the sight even scarier!
