## A lounger in the shape of a paraglider on the Ossiachberg

A 25-square-metre wooden platform in the shape of a paraglider, with a bench, a table and a lounger: the “Paragleiter” viewing platform lies on the Ossiachberg on the way to the Kanzelhöhe.

At an altitude of around 500 metres you look out over the landscape and watch the paragliders taking off, without having to take off yourself.

## Why the viewing platform is worth it for a moment for two

You can spend an hour on the lounger without anyone passing by. In the distance the paragliders drift over the Ossiacher See. The spot fits in well as a stop on a hike or a drive towards the Gerlitzen.

## What to expect

- 25 m² wooden platform in the shape of a paraglider
- Bench, table and lounger to linger on
- View of the landscape and of paragliders taking off
- Located on hiking trail 34 and mountain path 1000 on the Ossiachberg
- Can be combined with the trip up to the Kanzelhöhe and the Gerlitzen

## Our insider tip

Come in the late afternoon. The thermals are good then, and there are usually several paragliders in the air at once.
