Bára, Wooden observation tower in Chrudim, Czech Republic.
The triangular pyramid structure reaches 25.7 meters in height and features a viewing platform positioned at 14.8 meters above ground level.
The original tower, opened in June 2008, collapsed during a storm after four days, leading to the construction of Bára II in September 2009.
The tower design includes horizontal wooden lines and spaces between planks that create visual patterns for visitors to observe during their ascent.
Constructed with 41.3 cubic meters of larch timber, the tower incorporates steel cables that adjust tension every thirty minutes based on air moisture levels.
The circular oak staircase wraps around a central steel pole, leading visitors to a platform that withstands winds up to 200 kilometers per hour.
