The strange stone shapes of the Yspertal valley have always fascinated people, as numerous legends and myths prove. They have yet to reveal their secrets. The 5 m high heart stone - after which two circular hiking trails are named - reminds some people of the human organ, while others - who lean towards geomancy and esotericism - recognize female forms and life symbols here and consider the granite block to be a double cult stone. In any case, it is an extremely interesting stop on a tour that also leads to other strange stone figures, such as the "skull" - which can be climbed on a staircase - or the "stone corn almond". A walk to remember.

A beautiful hike through woods and meadows with a magnificent view of the Alps from the water reservoir.
