Set off for the only observatory in South Tyrol in Obergummer – an experience for young and old alike.From the Schenken parking lot at the Lantschnay bus stop, a stroller-friendly, little-used asphalt road leads you directly to the Max Valier Observatory and to the Peter Anich Solar Observatory.Part of the path runs along the planet trail, where you can walk through our solar system at a scale of 1:1 billion. At the destination, not only awaits you a fascinating view of the stars, but also the Unteregger inn with playground and petting zoo – ideal for a cozy rest after a short but heavenly hike.
The family hike starts at the Lantschnay bus stop or the Schenken parking lot in Obergummer. Shortly along the main road, you turn left immediately onto the side road towards the observatory and just follow hiking path 5A. Follow this until you reach the Unteregger inn. Here you will also find the Max Valier Observatory and the Peter Anich Solar Observatory.
The return is along the same path.
