Description
The Theresienwarte in the rose and spa town of Baden was built in 1884 - financed by Theresia Göschl, who also gave the viewpoint its name. After renovations in 1912 and 1980, the lookout has been as picturesque as ever since 2016. It offers pleasure hikers and walkers a magnificent panoramic view of Baden, Bad Vöslau and Sooß as well as Schneeberg and Harzberg.
