Predigtstuhl Summit (718 m)
Highlight • Summit
In the 1930s, there was an observation tower here, of which only a few anchor holes remain. The observation tower was popularly called the "Pyramid".
I still remember when I was a child and my father said "Gemma auf Piramidn", everyone knew that the Predigtstuhl was meant. Whether anyone today still associates the term "Pyramid" with the Predigtstuhl, I dare to doubt.
Small detours into the forest around the Predigtstuhl are definitely worthwhile. There are plenty of large and small rock formations to discover.
A sign "View to the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant" is still present, but the view of the nuclear power plant has probably been blocked by the tall trees for some years now. I tried a few times last year to find the view again, but failed (Dukovany is only 65 km from Waidhofen an der Thaya).
In this spirit: "Gemma auf Piramidn!"
Addendum May 2020:
I fear that the Predigtstuhl will not look the way it does now for much longer.
Several years ago, we were able to prevent it from being cleared to make way for wind turbines with signatures.
Now the bark beetles are here - and no signature will help against them. The felling has already begun.
I hope that at least the giant beeches will survive - the beeches that were already giant 60 years ago when I was still small!
