    Observatory built by Georg Spitzer with great regional importance. In the 1950s, Spitzer had the idea of founding an astronomical educational institution that would make astronomy accessible to everyone free of charge. That is why the guided tours in the public observatory with three telescopes are still free of charge today.

      A detour up here is also worthwhile in late autumn (November). Attention! Fall foliage and the mossy steps can be very slippery on the path to the observatory!
