Klobenstein Railway Station

Highlight • Rest Area

The train station is a little gem and a turntable in Klobenstein. Passengers arrive here, for example to hike, the green marking on the floor shows the way to the earth pyramids. You can stop off at the station or get on the train and go on a trip yourself.

The historic Rittner Bahn, a narrow-gauge railway, runs all year round to Soprabolzano in approx. 20 minutes, on the way you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Dolomites. A trip can be easily combined with a hike, details on the homepage:

We have been there several times now and have tried the card completely. Consistently very tasty homemade food with local products, magnificent view from the terrace, very nice hosts. Highly recommended as a refreshment during a hike or in the evening.

The earth pyramids are the absolute highlight of the Ritten. They are said to be the most beautiful in all of Europe.

Earth Pyramids of Lengmoos

Highlight • Natural Monument

These are the tallest and most beautiful in shape in all of Europe. These originated from late Ice Age moraine clay, which was heaped up here by the large Eisacktal main glacier and local side glaciers. The earth pyramids on the Ritten can be admired in three different places: in the Finsterbach valley between Lengmoos and Mittelberg, just below Oberbozen and near Unterinn.

View of the Earth Pyramids of Ritten

Highlight • Natural Monument

Earth pyramids consist of clay piled up in a cone shape and the boulders lying on top. They can arise in soils made from late glacial moraine clay, which remains here on the Ritten from the Eisacktal main glacier and some local secondary glaciers. These soils are rock hard when dry, but as soon as it rains they turn into a soft paste and slide away, forming steep slopes 10 - 15 meters high.
Further rainfall washes out these slopes, but if there are rock fragments in the softer earth material, the clay under these rocks is protected from the rain and while the surrounding material is eroded further and further by the weather, the earth pyramids literally grow out of the ground.

I think my subconscious question as to why we are always drawn to South Tyrol and especially to the Ritten was answered today.

A woman from Klobenstein explained it to me like this:
"The mountains are made of metal (ore). This has a magnetic field which emits a force that draws us back here again and again."

The Rittner earth pyramids are a natural monument located on the Renon, a plateau not far from Bozen in northern Italy. Earth pyramids are a fairly widespread phenomenon that exist in various locations such as South Tyrol and Platte.
A nice cozy round 🥾

Today we took the Ritten cable car from Bolzano to Oberbozen, and then continued with the Ritten narrow-gauge railway to Klobenstein.

Brief description: Easy tour, initially not very spectacular through the forest. Very good inn with panoramic views in Bad Siess. Then many great panoramas with the special highlight of the earth pyramids.

It rained again last night, but the sun came out at 9. We drove towards Klobenstein and enjoyed the ride to the starting point because we finally had a clear view today.
Our route first led past the rock pyramids - I had never heard of them before. The view into the valley was a beautiful picture-book landscape. After that, …

What a coincidence: Just arrived in Klobenstein 🚗 we were welcomed by the music band Lengmoos 🎺🎷🥁🪗, who organized a music festival today. But we also wanted to see the earth pyramids, which are right around the corner, but we had planned a Komoot tour. So first did the tour and then went to the festival again 🎺🎷🥁🪗😊🍺🍖🍦a great thing …
