South Tyrol, Sesto
Naina, Zena, Elfa, Zwölfa, Ansa. These five peaks around Sesto in the eastern Pustertal valley form what is probably the largest sundial in the world.
You can observe this famous natural spectacle particularly closely in winter along the main road between Moos and the Sexten house.
As a monument to this place, the "Time Stone" was created by the Frei&Zeit design studio together with südtirol.stein. An elegant structure made of dolomite stone that explains the Sesto sundial and invites the viewer to pause and feel his or her own personal flow of time.
"The Time Stone confronts us with the enormous span of the earth's evolution, the apparent infinity and our tiny existence. Time is the raw material of us all, no one will ever own it and yet it belongs to everyone"
Arno Dejaco
