Birštonas is the tallest observation tower in the whole Lithuania. With a height of 51 m, it stands out in the Nemunas Loop Regional Park.

The metal construction is covered with larch wood, and the structure of the observation tower resembles the towers of ancient defensive castles. If you want to enjoy a panoramic view, you first have to climb 300 steps. It takes about 7 minutes to climb the steps without stopping. The viewing platform is located at a height of 45 meters and provides a breathtaking view over Birštonas, open fields, a vast forest landscape, as well as the Nemunas River, the largest river in Lithuania.
