Astronomical and geophysical observatory

The Astronomical and Geophysical Observatory of the Comenius University operates near the Zochova chata recreation area and the local ski resort, which is used for the needs of astronomy, meteorology and astrophysics.

It owns one of the largest telescopes in Slovakia and also serves as a seismological workplace. The observatory is accessible via an asphalt road from Zoch's cottage, or via a hiking trail towards Veľká Homoľa.

Visiting hours: every Sunday between 2:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m., entry is free. Sky observations for the public are not made at the observatory.
