The tower height is exactly 30 meters, placing the observation platform well above the local tree canopy.
The design layout is intended to mimic a DNA double helix or a spiral, emphasizing natural themes.
The Nevėžis River surrounding the tower is famous for its extremely slow flow and high density of meanders.
The observation deck provides a 360-degree view of the park's UNESCO-recognized biosphere region indicators.
The construction materials combine heavy-duty galvanized steel with natural timber elements to withstand Baltic weather conditions.
The Krekenava Regional Park Observation Tower is a 30-meter high structure designed for panoramic views of the Nevėžis River valley. It features a unique architecture consisting of a spiraling steel frame supporting a wooden staircase and a top observation deck. The tower overlooks the meandering loops of the Nevėžis River, a protected landscape area known for its biodiversity. It serves as the primary vantage point for observing the park's floodplains and forest habitats. The structure is integrated into the larger park infrastructure, which includes the nearby Krekenava Regional Park Visitor Centre. It offers unobstructed views of the agricultural and riparian zones of the Panevėžys district. Access is provided via a designated walking path through the surrounding meadow and woodland terrain.

Bring binoculars as the height allows for significant long-distance wildlife spotting in the river valley.
Visit during the early morning or late afternoon to minimize glare on the river water for better photography.
Wear insect repellent during the summer months, as the proximity to the Nevėžis wetlands leads to high mosquito activity.
Do not attempt to climb the tower during thunderstorms or high wind warnings for safety reasons.
Maintain noise levels to avoid disturbing local wildlife and stay strictly on marked paths to protect the floodplain meadows.
