The earth pyramids in Percha - A few hundred years ago, a storm caused a landslide that interrupted the cart path that existed at the time between Thalerhof and Aschbach. It would have been easy to fill the demolition site with earth, but no one did because it was not an important connection. In 1882 there was another major storm and a large ditch was formed. Due to repeated washing and washing of the side slopes, the clay column structures with the stones lying on them remained standing. These earth pyramids are constantly changing, especially in winter and spring, new columns are constantly forming: The erosion zone is at an altitude of 1550 to 1750 meters and forms the most important earth pyramid deposit in the Puster Valley, also because of the structures of such different sizes.
