Apollontempel am Hundstalsee, Stone temple at Hundstalsee lake, Tyrol, Austria

The Apollo Temple features a walkable dome with a 3.5-meter inner diameter and two six-meter towers constructed entirely from natural stones without mortar.

Artists Robert Tribus and Heinz Triendl built the temple between 1986 and 2006, facing multiple legal challenges from Austrian Federal Forests regarding its construction.

The temple entrance displays the inscription 'Know Thyself' and represents a connection between humans, nature, and art at 2,289 meters altitude.

Visitors reach the temple through a 1.5-hour hike from Inzinger Alm, covering 650 meters in elevation gain across three steep sections.

During winter 2020/2021, the left tower suffered destruction from a rock fall and required complete reconstruction using the original building techniques.
