This actually deserves a twofold recommendation: Not only is the view of the surrounding area that the tower offers worth a visit, but also the unique architecture—something I've never seen anywhere else—with the climb inside the walk-in wine bottle and the bridge over to the wine glass, makes this complex a very special place.

The small town of Bairisch Kölldorf in the market town of Bad Gleichenberg has achieved a stroke of genius. Instead of building a purely functional armory like everyone else, the people of Bairisch Kölldorf created a landmark: the largest fire engine in the world, which isn't one at all! For many Floriani disciples and guests from near and far, the original armory, which has space for three fire engines and other equipment, is definitely worth a trip. "It's actually a normal brick-concrete building," explains Andreas Posch from the volunteer fire department, "only the facade is shaped like a fire engine." All of the “gimmicks” on the house such as indicators, blue lights, windshield wipers and headlights actually work. One attraction is the three-meter-tall fireman who sprays over the area every day from May to October at 11:45 a.m.
