    Tips

    Not many Vöslauer know the Turk fountain near Merkenstein, which was built just after 1800 (about the same time as the lookout tower in the Merkenstein zoo around 1811). In the course of the design of the large landscape park by the Dietrichstein. The name

    comes through the dome-like structure. A 61.5 m long arched corridor leads from the dome porch to the fountain room - to the source version. Today the water runs in a pipe underground to a small pond just below the Turkish fountain.

      A marked path (blue-yellow-green) leads to the Turkish fountain in the grounds of the former Merkenstein Zoo. It is not a fountain; the circular structure with the three openings in the roof dome is more of a kind of waiting room. The underground path leads to the actual spring chamber.

        The observation tower is nicely located on a hill surrounded by a meadow. The observation tower always seems to be open, so be sure to read the "tower rules" in front of the stairs.
