Lysser Aussichtsturm, Wooden observation tower in Lyss, Switzerland
The Lysser Aussichtsturm reaches 38 meters into the sky and features a viewing platform at 34 meters offering views of the surrounding region.
The tower was constructed in 2009 as part of the 1000-year celebration of the Lyss municipality, funded by local businesses and private donors.
The construction project brought together the local community through the Lysser Aussichtsturm Civil Forest Corporation, which managed the tower's development.
Visitors need to climb 180 steps to reach the observation deck, where they can see panoramic views extending to the Jura mountains and Bernese Alps.
The structure incorporates Douglas fir and spruce wood materials, demonstrating Swiss craftsmanship in wooden tower construction.
