Schlern - the cult place

The dolomite table mountain of Schlern is a cult place. The end tip of the summit table is called Burgstall. There a lot of archeologic evidence was found, proving that since the iron age on, perhaps even since the bronze age, ritual offerings were practiced there. Altar stones, ceramics, burnt animal bones - these all prove that people were gathering above those precipies on special occasions. And still todays the winds are whispering there the tales of witchcraft and occult gatherings. What else could people think, seeing in warm summer days fires high below the sky.
