Masua Scenic Lookout

The Masua Scenic Lookout rises 8 meters into the sky at an elevation of 364 meters, offering broad views across the Mateh Yehuda region.

Constructed in 1957, this observation structure became an essential component of the regional fire monitoring system during Israel's environmental protection development.

The tower represents Israel's commitment to forest preservation, serving as both a functional fire detection point and an educational center for environmental awareness.

Visitors can reach the lookout through marked trails in Britannia Park, where they can use specialized equipment to detect potential fire hazards.

The tower incorporates the Osborne Fire Finder system, allowing precise calculations of distances and directions to potential fire locations across the surrounding territory.
