The observation platform is open to the public at certain times for visitors who wish to climb to the top. Clear weather provides the best conditions for a visit and enjoying the views.
The structure received protected status as a cultural monument in the 1990s, recognizing its importance to the region. Since then, children's artwork from local schools and kindergartens has been displayed on the tower.
