The Sphinx Observatory, located in the Swiss Alps at an altitude of 3,517 meters, is a unique construction: no building is located above it in Europe . No wonder that it has become a favorite destination for tourists who spend about four hours a year traveling on the road from Bern to the observatory only to get to the "summit of the world" . The road is also not simple: first you need to get to the mountains on the train and then climb up the elevator, the mine of which more than 100 years ago was made right inside the rock . But as soon as the tourists leave the elevator, they immediately get to a small observation deck from which a wide view of the glacier opens Great Aletsah, snow-capped mountain peaks, and greening valleys in the foothills . In addition, the observatory can be viewed in the telescope installed under its dome .
