The new VEGA observatory in Obertrum near Salzburg is organising telescopic star tours.
One of the most modern observatories in central Europe opened in August 2018 in Obertrum am See, near the city of Salzburg.
The VEGA observatory is a branch of the “Haus der Natur” in Salzburg and sees itself as a place of science and research.
It is also regularly open to interested visitors. If the weather permits, preferably with a cloudless sky, telescopic star tours take place every Monday evening. Guests are welcome to visit the observatory free of charge without advance reservation and are able to view the depths of the universe with their own eyes and/or by telescope.

The observatory offers special tours for events such as lunar or solar eclipses, special planetary alignments or the appearance of the Perseids or Geminids.
The star tours begin in the summer months at 21.00 and in the winter at 20.00.
