Kronprinz-Rudolf-Warte Graz
Kronprinz-Rudolf-Warte Graz, Protected observation tower in Graz, Austria.
The Kronprinz-Rudolf-Warte stands 11 meters tall at an elevation of 656 meters on Plabutsch mountain, providing views of the Graz city landscape.
Built in 1879 by the Styrian Mountain Association, the tower replaced an earlier wooden octagonal structure from 1840 that was destroyed by fire in 1874.
The observation tower received its name in recognition of Crown Prince Rudolf, son of Emperor Franz Joseph I of the Habsburg monarchy.
Visitors can reach the tower through hiking trails or by car to the Orthacker restaurant parking area, followed by a short walk.
An iron spiral staircase leads to a circular viewing platform, offering perspectives of Eggenberg, Strassgang, and Wetzelsdorf districts of Graz.
