The observation tower on Góra Parkowa is the newest attraction in Krynica-Zdrój, a spa town in southern Poland. You can take an elevator to the upper terrace of the modern tower and enjoy wide views in all directions. There is also a "skywalk"—a glass platform.

New observation tower in Krynica-Zdrój

Krynica-Zdrój offers visitors many different things to do. In January 2026 a new, modern observation tower opened on Góra Parkowa, right in the center of the spa area. You can reach it on foot along the yellow and blue waymarked trails (about 45 minutes), by one of the many walking paths, or—fastest and easiest—by the funicular (incline railway) that takes you up to the tower.

The main attraction is the stunning 360° view. You can see not only the Beskid mountain ranges around Krynica-Zdrój, but on clear days also the eastern part of the Tatra Mountains: the Belianske (Bielskie) and the High Tatras. If you like a little thrill, step onto the glass platform—the skywalk.
