Platte, Mountain summit in Graz, Austria
Platte rises to 651 meters above sea level, forming a distinct plateau measuring one hectare at its summit in the Grazer Bergland range.
The Stephanienwarte observation tower, built in 1880 under Franz Göbel's patronage, stands 18 meters tall with Renaissance and neo-Baroque architectural elements.
The tower received its name from Stephanie of Belgium during her engagement to Crown Prince Rudolf, reflecting the Austrian monarchy's influence on local landmarks.
Visitors can reach the summit through Hinterer Plattenweg, which leads to a parking area near the 2. Plattenkreuz and connects to multiple hiking paths.
The former weather station at the summit now functions as an environmental monitoring facility, collecting data about air quality in the Graz region.
