Observation tower on Chełmiec, Observation tower in Wałbrzych County, Poland.
Description
The Observation tower on Chełmiec is a 22-meter-tall metal and concrete structure standing at the summit of the mountain. The building provides unobstructed views across Lower Silesia and the surrounding mountain ranges.
History
The structure was originally built to serve two purposes: transmitting a television signal and functioning as a public observation point. This dual purpose shaped its design and use over the decades.
Culture
The site draws people interested in observing the night sky and attending astronomy programs. Visitors use this elevated location regularly to watch celestial events and learn more about the stars.
Practical
The observation deck is accessible to the public on weekends from 10 AM to 6 PM, with guided tours available upon request. Visitors should bring warm clothing, as it can be windy and cold at this elevation.
Did you know?
Near the amphitheater sits a 4-ton globe that can be rotated with minimal force, demonstrating physics principles to visitors. This interactive element makes understanding balance and inertia playfully experiential.
