The Pyramidenkogel ( Slovenian Jedvovca ) is 850 m above sea level. A. high mountain in southern Carinthia , Austria .
Location description
The ridge is located south of the Wörthersee and north of the Keutschacher 4-Seental (also called: 4-Seental Keutschach and Keutschacher Seental , with the lakes from west to east: Hafnersee , Keutschacher See , Baßgeigensee and Rauschelesee ), which was declared a landscape protection area in 1970 . The Penkensee is located south of the Hafnersee . The area belongs to the Sattnitz , which is a “wooded hill country in the southern Klagenfurt basin , between Wörther See and Glanfurt - Glan - Gurk lowlands in the north and the Rosental der Drau (with Feistritzer and Ferlacher reservoirs ) in the south”.
Observation tower
In 1950, a 27 meter high wooden observation tower was built on the Pyramidenkogel. In addition, the Pyramidenkogel transmitter was built in 1957 . In the years 1966 to 1968 the wooden tower was replaced by a lookout tower with a height of 54 meters made of reinforced concrete .
When a necessary renovation would have been too expensive decades later, a new building was sought.
The design by the Klagenfurt architects Markus Klaura and Dietmar Kaden and the structural engineer Markus Lackner won an architecture competition with an elegantly curved screw made of wood and steel about 100 meters high .
After seven years of planning, the foundation stone was laid on October 31, 2012 and the facility was opened on June 20, 2013. The basic building with the restaurant forms an ensemble with the tower.
The highest wooden observation tower in the world - including the transmitter mast - at 100 m is open all year round and also contains the highest building slide in Europe at 52 m. In 2019, the 64 m "highest underground slide in the world" went into operation in Graz's Schloßberg .
