The tower stands on the summit of Dziewicza Góra, which is the highest peak in the immediate vicinity of Poznań.
The structure was erected as part of a fire-prevention monitoring system for the Puszcza Zielonka forest complex.
The base of the tower is located within a forest area protected under the national forest management authority.
The metal construction was designed to withstand significant wind pressure due to its exposed location on the hill summit.
The Tower on the Virgin Hill is a metal observation structure located at the highest point of the Puszcza Zielonka Landscape Park. Situated at an elevation of 143 meters above sea level, the tower provides elevated views over the surrounding dense forest canopy. The structure is part of the infrastructure managed by the Łopuchówko Forest District. Visitors ascend a series of stairs to reach the open-air observation platform at the top level. The hill itself is a prominent geographical feature in the Greater Poland region, serving as a primary lookout point for the area. The tower is a key stop for hikers and cyclists traversing the park's network of marked forest trails.
The upper observation deck offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the forest canopy and distant cityscape.
Wear sturdy walking shoes as the surrounding forest trails can be uneven or muddy.
Bring binoculars to identify distant landmarks in the Poznań skyline visible from the platform.
Check local weather reports before visiting, as high winds often lead to temporary closures of the observation deck for safety.
Do not attempt to climb the tower during thunderstorms or high wind warnings, as the metal structure is highly exposed.
May be closed during periods of extreme high winds, severe storms, or maintenance activities.
Maintain silence to preserve the forest environment; keep to marked paths to protect local flora.
