The tower is located on a terminal moraine hill, a geological feature formed by glaciers during the last ice age.
The structure reaches a height of approximately 30 meters, significantly exceeding the height of the surrounding forest canopy.
The name 'Złota Góra' translates literally to 'Golden Mountain,' though it refers to a local topographic rise rather than a true mountain peak.
The site is integrated into a network of local forest walking trails.
The Lookout Tower on the Golden Mount (Wieża widokowa na Złotej Górze) is a steel-framed observation structure situated near the village of Potażniki in the Greater Poland Voivodeship. It stands within the Złota Góra landscape complex, providing elevated views over the surrounding forests and the nearby Warta River valley. The tower is constructed as a multi-level platform reachable via an external staircase. It is positioned on a natural elevation that characterizes the local topography. The surrounding area features recreational amenities, including designated fire pits and picnic areas. The site serves as a vantage point for observing the diverse flora and fauna of the region.
