Tips

A. 🐺

August 1, 2022

This spectacular chasm was created by the collapse of the roof of a huge karst cave: it has an opening approximately 20 meters in diameter and a depth of at least 30 meters. The slender natural stone arch and the tall fir trees growing from the bottom are very distinctive.

In the Cimbrian language, it means "House of Stone." According to legend, it is the home of the solitary, gruff, and unkempt ogre who inhabits the woods of Roana and takes naughty children here until they repent... "Be quiet, or I'll call the ogre who'll take you to the Stone House!"

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