Kreuzkogelwarte

Right by the restaurant Kogel 3 begins the easy, short walking path to the Kreuzkogelwarte at an elevation of 498 meters above sea level. A gloriette built of masonry between 1847 and 1849 and inaugurated in 1850 was renovated in the 1950s and raised by two meters, destroyed by a lightning strike in 1963 and then rebuilt. In 1988/89, a wooden tower was added to the structure. 43 steps lead indoors to the platform at a height of 9 meters, making the total height of the building 13.3 meters.

A hiking trail leads down through the forest at the back and passes by the Silberberger observation tower down to the Silberberg wine school.

The “Blickwechsel-Tour” combines cycling and hiking and leads to impressive observation towers with spectacular panoramic views.
