  • The observatory is maybe the most scenic any where except in the Alps. The lake is so lovely. I enjoy the tour and the cafe food and drink is excellent. It is a CRAZY windy place! Make sure you are dressed for it well! There is too much light of the town near by - What is the observatory doing about that? Never mind, you must visit to see this view of the country. Most amazing.
  • great site..... good road but too narrow, was dodging buses and camper vans the whole way ..... good food and drinks from the restaurant..... super nice views of the town and lake..... recommended
  • oh yeah and windy is right .... good for scary hang gliding!!!!
