Short, family-friendly hike to the observatory in Obergummer – with views of the sky and the surrounding mountains.

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.
