Höhenrausch.3 The Art of Towers 14th of June to 13th of october

The central feature of HÖHENRAUSCH.3 is the redesign of the rooftop pathway: the path across the roofs is expanded by a vertical axis. Towers add architectural accents to the bridges. The main Attraction and landmark of HÖHENRAUSCH.3 is the 30-meter-high "Upper Austria Observation Tower" made of fir wood, erected over the elevator shaft of the parking garage.
Two 30-meter-high, modern "Energy Towers" are set up in the OK Square. A manipulation of the steel skeleton gives them a sculptural quality. The useful towers are turned into a "playing piece", and the covered set-up area is turned into a place for visitors to linger.

These were just two of many worth seeing highlights of the summer in linz. Certainly it has much more to offer and discover! 
Annyhow we wish you  a lot of fun experiencing linz and if you're looking for the perfect accommodation we would be very pleased to welcome you in the ARCOTEL Nike Linz!
