Join us for the longest journey of your life and allow yourself to be whisked off into wondrous cosmic world comprising planets, the fascinating objects of interstellar space in our own Milky Way, and far beyond to endless galactic expanses. All of this is possible, not just with the Starship Enterprise – right here with us at the Salzburg Observatory, located at the Haus der Natur natural history museum. Volunteers from the Haus der Natur’s astronomy section will give you an expert tour through the world of stars. In the process, you will gain a small insight into our cosmic homeland and the beauty of our starry skies.

Prices:
All tours are free of charge – nevertheless, we would be delighted to receive your voluntary donations in order to help us with the continued operation and upkeep of the observatory.

Location:
The small Salzburg Observatory is located in the community of Bergheim, atop the Voggenberg and amid the picturesque hills of the Alpine Foothills. Between the Ragginger See and Sandkuchl (Sonnenkogel), where word of a Celtic oracle who drew on astronomic observations has come down to us, there now stands the wooden building of the observatory with its high-performance “eye on the sky" – its telescope, of course. Departing from the nearby Landgasthaus Windinggut, you quickly find yourself at the start of an exciting, adventure-packed cosmic journey.
