Birštono observation tower

Apžvalgos vieta, Alytaus apskritis

Rising within the Nemunas Loops Regional Park on the Škėvonys ridge, this is the tallest observation tower in Lithuania, opened in 2019. Its viewing platform sits around 45 metres up (roughly 137 metres above sea level), reached by climbing about 300 steps with several rest landings along the way. The larch-clad metal structure was designed to echo the silhouette of old defensive castle towers, and from the top visitors get sweeping views over Birštonas, the surrounding forests and fields, and the looping Nemunas River.
