Hiking

The horizon observatory was set up on the northern summit plateau in 2008. The modern building consists of a circular, flat area with a diameter of 88 m, a forum lowered by 1.50 m with a diameter of 35 m in the middle and two arches with a radius of approx. 45 m, which are like the great circles meridian and celestial equator stretch across the square.
