Description
The strange stone formations of the Ysper Valley have always fascinated people, as numerous legends and myths prove. Their secrets have not yet been revealed. The 5 m high Herzstein - after which two circular hiking routes are named - reminds some of the human organ, others - those inclined towards geomancy and esotericism - recognize female shapes and life symbols here, considering the granite block a double cult stone. In any case, it is a highly interesting station on a circuit that also leads to other peculiar stone figures, such as the "Totenkopf" - which can be climbed on a staircase - or the "Steinerne Kornmandel". A route one gladly remembers.
Family-friendly circular route with 16 fitness stations and magnificent views of the Alps. Small petting zoo, Kneipp facility, and herb garden for resting and enjoyment!
