Klagenfurt - Near the Austrian Klagenfurt, on the Pyramidenkogel hill, the highest wooden observation tower in the world was opened five years ago, on June 20, 2013. The 100-meter tall spiral-shaped structure made of larch columns and steel offers visitors stunning views of the Alps and Wörthersee lake. A curiosity is the 120-meter long internal slide, which daredevils can use to slide down on borrowed mats to the ground floor.
The current observation tower is already the third structure of its kind at the top of Pyramidenkogel. The first was built in 1950 and was a wooden observation tower 27 meters high. In 1968, it was replaced by a 54-meter high reinforced concrete structure. The current tower began construction in 2012. The architects were Markus Klaura and Dietmar Kaden, and the designer was Markus Lackner. The construction cost eight million euros.
