The tower is named after Joanna, the wife of the local investor who financed the project.
The viewing platform is situated at a height of 30 meters above the ground level.
Its construction utilizes over 70 tons of galvanized steel to withstand varying weather conditions in the open landscape.
The tower design was intended to serve as a landmark for the Konotop and Kolsko municipalities.
It is positioned on a hill that historically acted as a vantage point for the surrounding agricultural plains.
The Joanna Observation Tower is a 42-meter steel structure situated near the village of Święte in the Lubusz Voivodeship, Poland. Completed in 2017, the tower stands on a hill at approximately 130 meters above sea level, significantly elevating the viewing platform. It is part of the regional effort to promote tourism in the Odra River valley region. The platform offers panoramic vistas of the surrounding forests, meadows, and the distant landscape of the Lower Silesian Wilderness. The structure is built with a functional design prioritized for stability and optimal visibility over the tree canopy. Visitors reach the top via a secure, external staircase integrated into the framework.
From the topmost viewing platform looking toward the horizon during the 'golden hour' for maximum depth and contrast.
Bring binoculars to identify distant landmarks in the expansive horizon.
Wear wind-resistant clothing as the height and open location result in significant breeze even on calm days.
Ensure your footwear has good grip, as the stairs are metallic and can become slick during moisture.
Attempting to visit during high-wind alerts or thunderstorms, as the structure is fully exposed and safety protocols may be enforced.
