The pit is a Land Art project by Peter Noever in Breitenbrunn am Neusiedler See , which has existed since the early 1970s and is continuously being developed.

architecture

The starting point of the Land Art project “Die Grube” is the over 200-year-old sandstone wine cellar. The northern end of the cellar vault was exposed, the cellar end wall moved inwards so that a vaulted, wind-protected room with benches and tables made of sandstone - from the adjacent quarry - was created, open to the north. This is followed by “Die Grube” (at the bottom a diameter of 8 meters, the upper edge of the funnel has a diameter of 20 meters). The slope of the grass bank is more than 50 degrees. In the hermetic cone of grass, which is wide open to the sky, you can take a seat outside on sandstone blocks.
