The hike offers two special features, on the one hand the earth pyramids which are of geological importance and on the other hand an unforgettable view of the Three Peaks.

This hike offers a wonderful view of the earth pyramids of Dobbiaco. The material of the earth pyramids dates back to the last Ice Age. The pyramids were created during a storm in 1834. During the hike you also have the opportunity to take a look at the famous Three Peaks.
