The Sartai Lake observation tower is a 36-meter high architectural structure located on the bank of Lake Sartai in the Zarasai district of Lithuania. Its design is inspired by the organic, winding shape of the surrounding lake shoreline. The structure features a multi-level viewing platform constructed from steel and timber. Visitors gain an unobstructed vantage point over the Sartai Regional Park, which is known for its glacial topography and complex lake system. The tower provides a panoramic view of the lake's islands and the specific peninsula where it is situated. It serves as the primary observation point for the protected landscape area of the Sartai Basin. The site is part of the local infrastructure developed to promote eco-tourism within the regional park boundaries.
