Pyramidenkogel: the highest wooden observation tower in the world with a view of Slovenia

You will find the Pyramidenkogel or Jedvovac observation tower near Klagenfurt, just half an hour from our border with Austria. It is the highest wooden observation tower in the world, from where you will have a truly fantastic view of the lakes and mountains!

Lookout tower Pyramidenkogel, which is located at 851 meters above sea level, on the top of Jedvovca, rises 100 meters into the sky, and you will have to climb it by 441 stairs. If the thought of it gives you chills, don't worry, there is also a panoramic elevator.

The trademark of Austrian Carinthia offers a spectacular view of Lake Vrb and mountains with kar three viewing platforms, as well as from Sky Box, a 360-degree glass platform with a restaurant protected from wind and weather from all sides. From a height of 52 meters, you can also descend to solid ground with a slide, along which you will rush at a speed of up to 25 km/h, and the descent itself will take about 20 seconds.
