March 3, 2022, Weinwarte Sankt Peter am Ottersbach

The Weinwarte Sankt Peter am Ottersbach has been on the Perbersdorfberg since 2004. The 28 meter high wooden observation tower is shaped like a wine glass and from the platform you can see over the Steiner Alpe, the Stradener and Gleichenberger Kogel and the volcanic cone of the Riegersburg. The wine observatory is freely accessible all year round. The Bergler Schlössl inn is only a few meters away.

The observation tower "Weinwarte" in St. Peter am Ottersbach was completed in 2004. At 25 meters altitude you have a magnificent panoramic view.
