"Over There"

Technically the Jubiläumswarte is closed but - like many others - I climbed over the door,  ascended the observation tower and enjoyed a beautiful view of Vienna. These two men spent a lot of time on top of the tower and seemed to "analize" the city from above.

Jubiläumswarte

The Jubiläumswarte, an observation tower on top of Wilhelminenberg, was erected in 1956 and replaced an older steel construction that had been erected in 1899 in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of emperor Franz Joseph I's ascendancy to the Austrian throne. Therefore, the present tower is still colloquially known as "Jubiläumswarte" (jubilee tower).
