The Ritten earth pyramids are a fascinating natural phenomenon and are considered one of the most remarkable geological phenomena in South Tyrol. They are located on the sunny high plateau of the Ritten, north-east of Bolzano, and are among the highest and most beautiful of their kind in Europe. These bizarre pillars, formed from moraine clay from the last ice age, tower into the sky like stone sentinels and captivate every observer with their rugged grandeur. Over thousands of years, rainwater has eroded the softer soil around harder stones, eventually creating these unusual towers, which are protected from further erosion by the stones on their tops. The dynamic of growth and decay is directly visible here, because while some earth pyramids are constantly being shaped by water, others collapse and make room for new formations. A walk to these natural sculptures is like a journey into another world - the silence of the forest, the clear air and the breathtaking view over the surrounding mountain landscape make the visit an unforgettable experience. The paths leading to the earth pyramids also offer the opportunity to explore the unique flora and fauna of the Ritten high plateau and to unwind in the tranquillity and vastness of nature. The Rittner earth pyramids are a testimony to the power of the natural elements and the infinite changeability of our earth. They inspire us with their rarity and beauty and remind us of the incredible works of art that nature is capable of producing. An excursion to these geological works of art is therefore an absolute highlight for every visitor to South Tyrol.
