Looks a bit strange, but is very interesting. It is explained on several display boards what the "cannon" is intended for and how it works.
From here you also have a wonderful view over the lake to the Swiss Alps.

The hail cannon is intended to generate pressure waves in the sky through explosions of a propane gas mixture and thus mix up the layers of a thundercloud 🌩 and thereby impair hail formation.

Not only the hail cannon is worth seeing, the view of the lake and the Alps is also wonderful
