The Max Valier Observatory, featuring a 6-metre cupola with a Cassegrain reflector telescope, offers a glance into infinity – no fewer than 19 million celestial bodies. The Peter Anich Solar Observatory offers interesting facts about the sun, while the “planetary trail” guides astronomy enthusiasts (and others!) from planet to planet through our solar system – on a scale of 1:1 billion, across meadows, through forests and biotopes.
