Gobelwarte, Steel observation tower in Grein, Austria
The Gobelwarte tower rises 20 meters into the sky, constructed with 26 tons of steel at an elevation of 484 meters above sea level.
The initial observation tower was built in 1894 to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Austrian Tourist Club's Strudengau section at this location.
The base of the tower features a 5-meter stainless steel art sculpture called Strudengauer Burgspektakel, created by artist Miguel Horns.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the tower, including the Reitsteig and Nombergersteig paths, each requiring approximately one hour of walking through forest terrain.
From its viewing platform, visitors can observe the Mühlviertel hills, Eastern Alps from Ötscher to Dachstein, and the Danube valley in the Strudengau region.
