Aussichtsplattform am Stadtpfarrturm

Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Carinthia

The Stadtpfarrturm in the middle of Klagenfurt's old town offers not only a wonderful view of the lively activity in the pedestrian zone, but also a fantastic 360° panoramic all-round view: from Lake Wörthersee over the Karawanken to the Koralpe. This feast for the eyes is granted to anyone who dares to climb the 225 steps inside the tower. And one thing is certain: the ascent is worth it! At a height of 45 meters, the visitor with a head for heights then steps onto the viewing platform and can marvel in all directions to their heart's content. Just as the tower watchman once did – only he also announced a powerful horn call every hour. When Klagenfurt got its first tower watchman is unknown, but probably in the 13th or 14th century, when the first bell tower was built for the Klagenfurt-St. Egid parish church. Height of Stadtpfarrturm: 90 meters Height of viewing platform: 45 meters Steps: 225
