Earth pyramids of Platten

[1] Following a cloudburst, a few centuries ago, there came a landslide which cut off the roads connecting the villages in the surroundings of Aschbach.

Following eluviations and erosions these earth pyramids are constantly changing; that is due to the succession of severe cold spells in winter and hot summers which have the effect of continually forming new ones.

From the main road we deter at Percha/Percia and drive less than 6 km up into Oberwielenbach and beyond it a bit more to the big parking place.

On the crossroads there's the inscription that this mountain road leads also towards the pyramids, but it is closed for public traffic (2017).

To return, it is best to use the approach route, even if we descend along the ravine to the lower lookout point.
