Observation tower on Śnieżnik, Observation tower on Śnieżnik Mountain, Poland

The metal structure reaches a height of 34 meters, covered with glass panels and decorated with stones from the previous tower at its base.

The first tower, built in 1899 to honor Emperor Wilhelm I, remained until 1973 when structural concerns led to its controlled demolition.

The tower stands as part of the Czech-Polish Ridge Trail, connecting observation points and recreational spots across national borders.

The tower remains open 24 hours daily without entrance fees, featuring solar panels that generate electricity for its operations.

The construction process required materials to be transported through difficult mountain terrain, with work limited to summer periods over several years.
