Solar observatory "Peter Anich"

Experience the bubbling sun up close at the Peter Anich Solar Observatory in Gummer - an unforgettable view of the universe!
The Peter Anich Solar Observatory in Gummer|San Valentino, in the municipality of Karneid|Cornedo all' Isarco, is just over half an hour from Bozen|Bolzano and yet far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and light pollution. Together with the Max Valier Observatory, it offers fascinating insights into the secrets of the universe - from the depths of the starry sky to the spectacular details of our sun.



The view through the solar telescope, which is equipped with a special filter, is a real highlight: you can see the bubbling surface of the sun, recognise sunspots and experience the unbridled power of our star up close.



In the summer months, guided tours take place every Friday at 2 pm, where you can learn all about the sun and practical sky observation from experienced guides. Individual appointments can also be arranged for groups - advance booking is always required.

During the usual evening tours at the 'Max Valier' observatory, the telescope of the solar observatory serves as an additional instrument for observing stars, the moon, galaxies and much more
