Look-Out Tower on Pyramidenkogel in Klagenfurt, Austria In June 2013, one of the world‘s highest timber look-out construc- tions was opened in Austria, on the Pyramidenkogel, a mountain in Carinthia. The tower including the spire is 100 m high. It has four ac- cessible viewing platforms, one is closed and three are open, offer- ing a breathtaking view over the Alps-Adriatic region and the lakes of Carinthia. The spiral shape being a symbol for growth and develop- ment was the choice of the architects Klaura + Kaden. Another highlight of the tower is Europe‘s highest roofed slide with a height of almost 52 m. It is built inside the construction. Riders can reach a velocity of up to 25 km/h. The structural analysis of this extra- ordinary building was created by LACKNER + RAM
