Earth pyramids, gorges & other phenomena

Some natural beauties, which you can visit during your holidays in South Tyrol, are for instance waterfalls such as those in Rein in Taufers, gorges and canyons such as the Bletterbach gorge, natural attractions such as the earth pyramids in Steinegg, on Ritten, in Percha or Terenten or the ice holes in Eppan.

Without any doubt, South Tyrol’s natural landscape is mainly known for the special rock formations of its mountain ridges. Ever since, the “pale” Dolomites have been fascinating not only fascinate the locales but also guests.

For sure, you have already heard about the natural spectacle of alpenglow, dying the mountains in various nuances of red during dawn and dusk. This creates very special panoramas!

All of these special occurrences, being inexplicable to us mainly in former times, have been an incentive for the creation of legends and myths, still known today. For instance, there is the legend of King Laurin, whose rose garden gave the name to the homonymous mountain.
