Interesting facts
1

The tower offers a 360-degree viewing angle, allowing visibility of the Śnieżnik Massif and the Bystrzyckie Mountains on clear days.

2

The structure is designed with a specific wind-resistant steel lattice frame to withstand high-altitude gusts common on the Suszyna hill.

3

The project was co-financed by the European Union under the INTERREG V-A Czech Republic-Poland program.

4

The location was strategically chosen to bridge the gap in observation points between the Kłodzko and Radków municipalities.

Overview

Wieża widokowa Suszynka is a 27.5-meter tall steel observation tower situated on the Suszyna hill at an altitude of 469 meters above sea level. It provides panoramic views of the Kłodzko Valley, the Stołowe Mountains, and the Orlické Mountains. The structure consists of an open-work steel frame with a viewing platform accessible via a metal staircase. It was constructed as part of a regional tourism infrastructure project to promote the borderlands of Poland and the Czech Republic. The tower is accessible year-round and is located in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. It stands on a base that allows for clear visibility in all cardinal directions. The ascent is relatively short, making it an accessible destination for casual hikers. It serves as a key vantage point for viewing the nearby peaks of the Sudetes.

Insider tips

Bring binoculars to identify specific peaks in the distant Czech Republic border range.

Wear windproof clothing, as the open structure exposes visitors to significantly higher wind speeds than at the base of the hill.

Check local weather forecasts for fog, as low-hanging clouds can render the panoramic views invisible.

What to avoid

Attempting to climb during thunderstorms or high-wind warnings, as the open steel staircase becomes hazardous.

Good to know

Open year-round, but may be inaccessible during extreme winter snow conditions if the access path is not cleared.
