Observation tower Kristal

The observation tower is designed as a tall sightseeing structure with a reinforced concrete footing and a two-storey symmetrically designed observation deck, shaped as an abstract crystal form. The viewing platform will also contain several tourist and catering facilities, and will be accessible by two panoramic elevators. The tower will offer views of Rogaška Slatina and its surroundings and will further diversify the offer of the city, known for its mineral water, health resort and glassworks.

Upon completion of the construction, the 108 meter tall observation tower with a two-storey viewing platform and an outdoor rooftop observatory will become the tallest building in Slovenia.
