A bike ride to the Klangturm (Sound Tower) in St. Pölten is a worthwhile stop on any tour of the city. The 77-meter-high tower in the government district was built in 1996 by architect Ernst Hoffmann and is a striking example of modern architecture in Lower Austria. Its glass, spiral shape evokes movement and sound, which is how the tower got its name. An elevator or stairs lead to the viewing platform, which offers panoramic views of St. Pölten and the Alpine foothills. The ground floor houses a tourist information center, and spacious squares and green areas around the tower invite visitors to linger – ideal for a short break during a bike tour through the city.
