Earth Pyramids of Steinegg

Highlight • Natural Monument

Prerequisites for the formation of earth pyramids are certain properties of the material (relative fine-grainedness, low but not too low consolidation), the climate (regular rainfall), a wind-protected location and the occurrence of larger stones or boulders made of erosion-resistant solid rock (e.g. magmatic rock). or gneiss) in the fine-grained material. In many cases, the source rock is therefore Pleistocene boulder clay or boulder clay.

The formation proceeds as follows:

The starting point for the formation of earth pyramids is the exposure of a body of sediment with corresponding properties on a relatively steep slope.
Rainwater running off the surface cuts deep furrows (flushing grooves that widen into gullies) in the slope or the sediment body. Individual blocks of solid rock, naturally occurring in the eroding body of sediment, protect the underlying fine-grained material. As a result, this erodes significantly more slowly than unprotected material. More or less high columns of fine-grained sediment remain below such a stone, partly because the wind-protected location ensures that rain can only attack directly from above.
If a pillar loses its capstone, it then erodes relatively quickly. She takes on the form of Sugar Loaf and gets smaller and smaller until she finally disappears altogether. Meanwhile, further up the slope, new cones of earth are forming (retrogressive erosion).

Kaserer Bild Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The Kaserer picture, named after the nearby Kaserer Hof, has always been a popular place of pilgrimage. The little church is right on Riedlerstraße, right on the back of the Riedler mountain near Steinegg. This area also belongs to the primeval settlements of South Tyrol (the hill fort "Streitmooser Köpfl" is in the immediate vicinity). The little church is a neo-Romanesque chapel and its present form dates from 1871. The ridge turret (small tower) was added in 1874. The chapel is very well preserved today, having recently been thoroughly renovated. Holy masses are held regularly during the summer months. In the church there is a beautiful, neo-Gothic altar with a portrait of Kaserer's mother. This image of the Mother of God originally hung on an old and mighty larch tree, which is said to have stood exactly where the little church stands today. There are several legends surrounding the image and the construction of the chapel itself. However, they all testify to the deep piety of those seeking help and their firm belief in the miracle work of the Kaserer mother.

We had taken a little break at the observatory. In the neighborhood you can still find a tourist restaurant or, if you were lucky like us, a large lawn with sun loungers.

Was a perfect day to get back on the trails here

Beautiful panoramic round, some beautiful trail sections - short sliding passages where it was too steep for us. Up and down again and again...

Wow, how awesome was that.......we are speechless, with bike guide Patrick we almost only rode single trails around Steinegg😀👍I have to revise my personal attitude to the scale by one level, but it's awesome.

Today with tour guide Hansjörg from Gummen and Swiss-Australian Alex. An eternal up and down over meadow trails, rocky trails, trails with many roots, switchbacks 😏 and flowing passages through the gentle forests. A great round!
