Tips

Hiking

The Predigtstuhl is a striking, free-standing limestone rock in the Paradiestal, which is impossible to miss as it lies directly on the main hiking trail of the uninhabited dry valley. As a prominent rock tower with its own summit cross, it towers over an idyllic clearing and is one of the most popular photo stops for nature enthusiasts. The geological formation most likely owes its name to its characteristic shape, which strongly resembles a classic church pulpit.
