Here is the translation of the newspaper article:

"A reader of a local newspaper has found something extraordinary during a cycling trip last week. At the so-called Hofer roundabout (named after a local supermarket) in the town of Zwettl in Lower Austria. She noticed a very distinctive circular formation in a grain field. The attached photo shows that this formation could not have been formed naturally. The meaning of this sign is still not known, nor is it known whether more such formations have been found in the Waldviertel (wood quarter) region in Lower Austria."

My parents will investigate tomorrow and take pictures, if possible. Some of the Austrian researchers are uncertain about the authenticity of this crop circle. They find the angle at which the photo was taken, supposedly by the cyclist herself, worthy of suspicion. They think it looks like a professional photograph. I am attaching this photo for you.

Regarding the bowl-shaped carvings, my father has been aware of them since he was born in Schloss Rosenau, he is now 62, and has only recently begun to investigate them closely. These bowls were all covered with plant growth, moss, soil and leaves etc. and have recently been cleared by my father using simple gardening tools. The precision of the carvings leave us doubting whether they could possibly be natural. To us, they seem to be man-made and have suspected for some time that they belong to the Celts of any other early tribes.

In the region there is the so-called Kraftarena which includes a stone pyramid also believed to have been built by the Celts, among others such as the Weltkugel, which is a large stone with a suspected energy field surrounding it. Here is a link to the Wikipedia page for the town of Gross Gerungs which unfortunately only in German: Kraftarena but I have translated it for you here.
