    From the top you have a great view towards Horn, Pernegg and Rodingersdorf.

    In 1983 the Papal Observatory was opened near Doberndorf. This was built on the occasion of the visit of Pope John Paul II. With a total of 119 steps, you reach a height of 24 meters - the control room itself is 497 meters above sea level. It was designed by Robert Krapfenbauer.
