Kreuzbergl Observatory, through the forest to the stars
The Kreuzbergl Observatory in Klagenfurt is run by the Carinthian Astronomical Association. The observatory is located on the viewing platform that was built 100 years ago in honour of Emperor Franz Josef and his wife Sissi.
In 1965, an observatory was built on the old stone observation tower of Klagenfurt's extensive Kreuzbergl woodland, which today offers visitors a fascinating view of the sky. But the viewing platform is not stingy with fabulous views either: here you can enjoy an unforgettable panoramic view of the Klagenfurt basin and the Karawanken mountains.
