A bike ride to the Klangturm (Sound Tower) in St. Pölten is a worthwhile stop on any tour of the city. The 77-meter-high tower in the government district was built in 1996 by architect Ernst Hoffmann and is a striking example of modern architecture in Lower Austria. Its glass, spiral shape evokes movement and sound, which is how the tower got its name. An elevator or stairs lead to the viewing platform, which offers panoramic views of St. Pölten and the Alpine foothills. The ground floor houses a tourist information center, and spacious squares and green areas around the tower invite visitors to linger – ideal for a short break during a bike tour through the city.

The area is very nice for cycling.

Semi-interesting observation tower in the unfortunately always deserted government quarter. Not even a restaurant open here on the weekend 😞. You can choose between an elevator or lots of stairs. The view is certainly beautiful, on the top floor there are signs on every corner explaining what you can see. Very hot and stuffy up there on a summer's day, the loungers are fun, but nothing invites you to stay. I found the most interesting to see how many solar panels are on the roofs of the quarter. Fingers crossed 👍 for that. Colorfully lit or not, I still don't see the tower as a landmark of the city, and I would still prefer to be able to stroll through the Au, fairground meadow and race track than through this dead concrete desert of the government quarter.

Very well developed cycle path. Only the chicanes at the junctions are quite annoying.

Always good for a photo stop

Quiet, small street. Asphalt quite good.

Once you are at the top, the view over the landscape is breathtaking
