It is one of the highest vantage points in the Gdynia area, significantly elevating the visitor above the dense forest canopy.
The structure was designed to withstand strong coastal winds typical of the Baltic region.
The project was integrated into the local recreational infrastructure to promote eco-tourism within the Tri-City Landscape Park.
Unlike many coastal viewpoints, this site is situated inland, offering a unique perspective of the maritime landscape from a forest setting.
The Wieża Widokowa w Kolibkach is a 50-meter-tall wooden observation tower situated in the Gdynia-Orłowo forest district. It offers a viewing platform at a height of 28 meters, providing panoramic views over the Baltic Sea and the Gdynia coastline. The structure is constructed primarily of timber and steel, designed to blend into the surrounding forested landscape. It serves as a prominent landmark within the Tri-City Landscape Park, which encompasses extensive hiking and cycling trails. Visitors can see as far as the Hel Peninsula on clear days. The tower is accessible via a series of forest paths that lead directly to the base of the construction.
