The tower was designed by architect Zdeněk Fránek and constructed using 380 tons of steel and 300 cubic meters of wood.
The path length of the wooden ramp extends for 710 meters in total.
The 'drop net' at the summit is situated at a height of 50 meters above the terrain.
The structure is specifically engineered to withstand wind speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour.
The observation deck features a 'tear-drop' viewpoint that cantilevers over the edge of the structure.
Stezka v oblacích is a 55-meter-high wooden observation tower located near the summit of Slamník mountain in the Kralicky Sneznik massif. The structure is built from timber and steel, featuring a spiraling ramp that winds upwards, culminating in an observation platform 1,116 meters above sea level. The design incorporates a 100-meter-long stainless steel toboggan slide that visitors can use to descend from the higher levels. It includes a mesh 'drop net' at the summit for those who wish to view the ground directly below through the flooring. The walkway is fully wheelchair and stroller accessible due to the gradual slope of the ramps. Information boards along the path detail the local geology and climate of the surrounding Jeseníky and Králický Sněžník mountains. The structure remains open to the public year-round, weather permitting, and provides panoramic views of the Morava River valley.

Purchase your entrance ticket online in advance to bypass potential ticketing lines at the base station.
Bring a windbreaker or additional layers, as temperatures and wind speeds are significantly higher at the summit than in the valley.
Wear closed-toe footwear if you plan to use the stainless steel slide for the descent.
Attempting to walk up the mountain on foot without checking the chairlift operating status, as the incline is steep and lengthy.
Operations are subject to closure during high winds, thunderstorms, or extreme winter weather conditions.
Do not jump on the drop net or lean excessively over railings; follow staff instructions regarding slide usage.
