    Large solar vacuum telescope

    Head to the Large solar vacuum telescope at the end of the road. You do not need a guided tour to appreciate the structure itself. Look at the building and imagine the scientific work happening inside.

    Walk five minutes north to the public art piece named Kometa. It is a simple, quiet stop that breaks up the walk and adds a touch of whimsy to the neighborhood.

    Шаман

    Finish your walk at the café Shaman. It is open from 09:00, so you can arrive right on time for a coffee or a light snack to cap off your morning.

Local tip

The telescope is at the end of the road, so plan for a short walk from the main area. The café Shaman opens at 09:00, making it a perfect early stop if you want to avoid the midday heat.

Check before you go

  • The Large solar vacuum telescope does not have listed opening hours for independent visits; check if guided tours are required or if the exterior is always accessible.
  • Shaman is open Mo-Su 09:00-22:00, so it is available for your morning start.
