A very successful first year of the Kristal observation tower

The Kristal observation tower has had a very successful first year. It was visited by more than 88 thousand visitors, nearly half more as were anticipated. The 106-meter-high observation tower with a two-story observation platform and an open viewing terrace was officially opened on May 23, 2024. The construction of the tallest building in Slovenia took two years.

A two-story, symmetric designed observation deck, shaped as an abstract crystal form, houses the cafe, the Panorama floor and the outdoor deck. The tower provides views of Rogaška Slatina and its surroundings and will further diversify the offer of the town, known for its mineral water, health resorts and glassworks.

The tower was designed by Ponting Bridges and Korpnik produkcija, the contractor was VG5, and the investor municipality of Rogaška Slatina. In the immediate vicinity of the tower, Ponting bridges also designed the overpass Sonce, built exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists, providing a safe connection between the Rogaška Slatina promenade and the foothills of Tržaški hrib, where also the Kristal Tower is located.
