Tourists have fallen in love with this attraction in Poland. Even English and Italian tourists come here.

Not all tourists are experienced in mountain hiking, but most enjoy the views of the mountains and their surroundings. That's why observation towers are becoming increasingly popular.

Free observation tower in Poland

One of the most popular places of this type in Poland is the observation tower on Łysula Peak in the Beskid Niski Mountains (551 meters above sea level). The facility in Dominikowice is 32 meters high and was opened last year. Tourists are attracted not only by the stunning views of the Beskid Niski Mountains (and even the Tatra Mountains on clear days). Guests can also enjoy a 54-meter-long water slide, which means they don't have to go down.

A year after its opening, nothing has changed. Interest in the attraction is enormous, and queues of people still form to climb the tower. Gorlice Commune Mayor Jan Przybylski, in an interview with "Gazeta Gorlicka," reported that last September, a record was broken – 3,000 visitors in a single day. This is even more than on Sunday, August 4th. On the busiest days and weekends, the number of rides is limited.

Foreign tourists come to Łysula

The mayor noted that Łysula attracts more than just local residents. Ninety percent of visitors are tourists from Poland and abroad. "This is evident in the car registration plates – mainly from Podkarpacie and Małopolska, but also from Silesia and Mazovia. Many visitors to Łysula are Slovaks , English, Irish, Italians, Germans – the list goes on," noted Jan Przybylski.

New bike paths are planned

The commune authorities, encouraged by this success, plan to expand the area's tourist attractions. The mayor announced that construction is underway on pedestrian and bicycle paths from Kasztel in Szymbark towards Ropa. "The commune's flagship is the new path built in Rozbój in Kobylanka. Further paths, already planned, will connect the Sękowa commune with Dominikowice and ultimately with Gorlice," he added.
