Observation deck

An observation platform is provided with a railing raised platform from which results in a selected view. These platforms can be part of a building, such as a tower, or be built into the natural topography, such as on a hill or the edge of a gorge ( in the latter case also called Skywalk ). An observation platform is always provided with a railing or balustrade, in addition, a safety guard to be mounted. There are also fully glazed structures. Open platforms are better suited for taking pictures, because no disturbing reflections occur. On many viewing platforms, there are fixed telescopes that allow a look into the distance after coin. Some platforms have seats, a kiosk and / or a café.
