Klobenstein Railway Station

Highlight • Rest Area

The train station is a little gem and a turntable in Klobenstein. Passengers arrive here, for example to hike, the green marking on the floor shows the way to the earth pyramids. You can stop off at the station or get on the train and go on a trip yourself.

The historic Rittner Bahn, a narrow-gauge railway, runs all year round to Soprabolzano in approx. 20 minutes, on the way you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Dolomites. A trip can be easily combined with a hike, details on the homepage:

Bad Siess Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

We have been there several times now and have tried the card completely. Consistently very tasty homemade food with local products, magnificent view from the terrace, very nice hosts. Highly recommended as a refreshment during a hike or in the evening.

Earth Pyramids of Lengmoos

Highlight • Natural Monument

These are the tallest and most beautiful in shape in all of Europe. These originated from late Ice Age moraine clay, which was heaped up here by the large Eisacktal main glacier and local side glaciers. The earth pyramids on the Ritten can be admired in three different places: in the Finsterbach valley between Lengmoos and Mittelberg, just below Oberbozen and near Unterinn.

View of the Earth Pyramids of Ritten

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.
