A magnificent mountain backdrop awaits you from the panorama tower at Wurbauerkogel in the Pyhrn-Priel vacation region. A total of 21 peaks over 2000 meters can be seen from the adventure mountain with good visibility. The names of the surrounding summits can be read on the panorama panels located on various floors. At the top of the observation platform, you are treated to a 360-degree view. This extends from the Sengsengebirge over the Reichraminger Hintergebirge to the Haller Walls, the Warscheneck, and the Toten Gebirge. Additionally, you can also spot the distinctive Kleine Buchstein in the Gesäuse National Park!
Wow moments in abundance await you at the glass tower in Windischgarsten, and from a new perspective.
21 meters high and spanning over six floors, the glass panorama tower at Wurbauerkogel offers not only spectacular views of the surrounding Upper Austrian mountain panorama but also houses an interesting exhibition. The "Fascination Rock" exhibition allows both big and small visitors to learn everything about the local mountain world and the flora and fauna adapted to the conditions. Over 150 square meters, extraordinary, remarkable, and world-class achievements from the animal and plant kingdom are presented to the visitors.
