Description
Hiking trail no. 30 The stone pyramid is one of the places of the Kraftarena Groß Gerungs. These places invite you to pause and linger to feel the different spatial qualities, from invigorating to calming.
- Equipment Sturdy footwear, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, map material, if necessary telescopic poles, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient provisions (snack, muesli bars, fruit, water).
- Route description The path leads from Etzen towards Blumau. Shortly after leaving the town of Etzen, turn right and follow a meadow and forest path to the chapel in Ober Neustift. From there, the path continues along municipal roads to the parking lot near the Stone Pyramid, from where you can easily reach it via a forest trail. The Stone Pyramid, an object of the Kraftarena Groß Gerungs, remains an archaeological mystery to this day. The stone-shaped geomantic positive lines and right-rotating water veins make it a special power place. The way back leads along the Alleeteich pond to the road and then through the settlement of Ober Neustift back to Etzen.
