The earth pyramids of Platten (German: ''Erdpyramiden von Platten'' or ''Erdpyramiden bei Oberwielenbach''; (イタリア語:Piramidi di Plata) (:piˈraːmidi di ˈplaːta)) are earth pyramids located in Platten in the municipality of Percha, near Bruneck in South Tyrol, Italy. The erosion area is located at an altitude of 1550 to 1750 meters. What is so impressive about the pyramids of Platten is their wildness which reminds at the same time also of their fragility. The pyramids of Platten belong to the most beautiful natural monuments of South Tyrol such as the earth pyramids of Ritten and part of the earth pyramids of South Tyrol. They were described in a scientific manner for the first time by Karl Meusburger in 1914 .〔Karl Meusburger, ''Die Erdpyramiden bei Bruneck'' (''The earth pyramides near Bruneck'', in "Zeitschrift des Ferdinandeums für Tirol und Vorarlberg" (Journal of the Ferdinandeum for Tyrol and Vorarlberg, III/58, 1914, pp. 453-455.〕 ==History== Following a cloudburst, a few centuries ago, there came a landslide which cut off the roads connecting the villages in the surroundings of Aschbach. In 1882, again after a heavy cloudburst, a new fault was formed. 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Earth pyramids of Platten」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
