The mechanics behind each pyramid is enchantingly simple. A central axis connects each tier, and when the candles are lit, the rising heat generates an updraft that causes the pyramid to spin gracefully, creating a mesmerizing display of movement and light.
Meticulously crafted by skilled artisans in the Ore Mountains, each component is carefully carved and painted by hand, showcasing intricate details and vivid colours that capture the essence of Christmas tradition.
