Don't miss it if the weather is good. Outstanding 360-degree views. The viewing tower is always accessible. The shop is closed on the weekend, but it doesn't look like anything special. Go for the views!!
View on GoogleVery impressive landscape and the building is worth the drive. Enjoyed the view and ice scream at the shop. Not crowded. Perfect bike and car stop
View on GoogleBeautiful Observatory of course, weather permitting. You will get a 360 view on the top of the circular building looking out to the mountains and across the farmlands.
View on GoogleBeautiful. Stunning. Truly one of the views I would burn into the retina of my eye. Cafe and stuff are closed for winter though.
View on GoogleYou get a panoramic view of the mountain ranges. The wind is strong but not too strong which makes the chill factor a pleasant one. Beautiful experience overall.
