Bismarck tower on Wielka Sowa, Observation tower on Wielka Sowa mountain, Poland

The stone and concrete tower stands at an altitude of 1014 meters, reaching a height of 25 meters with both external and internal staircases.

The original wooden structure from 1885 was replaced by the current tower in 1906, named after German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.

The ground floor contained a memorial hall with a Bismarck bust and three stained glass windows depicting scenes from the chancellor's life.

Visitors can access the tower from May to October between 9:30 AM and 6:30 PM, with a kiosk located on the ground floor.

The viewing platform offers panoramic views of the Giant Mountains, Ślęża Mountain, and the cities of Dzierżoniów, Pieszyce, and Bielawa.
