Observation tower on Śnieżnik

The tower stands at an elevation of 1,425 meters above sea level, featuring stone remnants of two distinct sections that once formed the structure.

Built between 1895 and 1899 by architect Felix Henry from Wrocław, the tower operated until its deterioration led to demolition in 1973.

The structure represents historicist architecture from the late 19th century and marks the highest point of the Śnieżnik mountain range.

The site remains accessible through hiking trails, with visitors needing to follow marked paths through the Sudety Mountains to reach the location.

The remains of the tower sit at the intersection of three countries' borders, making it a meeting point for Polish, Czech, and German hiking communities.
