Kubalonka Observation Tower

The Kubalonka observation tower is a low wooden structure on the summit of Kubalonka (830 m above sea level) in the Silesian Beskids. Its platform offers a view towards Lake Czerniańskie and the surrounding hills.

What the tower looks like

The tower has a timber lattice frame, a roof and a single viewing platform. It is reached by a ladder, so it will be harder with small children and when the wood is wet.

What you can see

The view looks mainly towards Lake Czerniańskie and the ranges around it. The tower stands in the Silesian Beskids Landscape Park, above the Wisła nature reserve.

Practical information

• Access: along the yellow trail from the Szarcula pass.
• Entry to the tower is open all year round, with no gates or tickets.
• A wooden structure is sometimes renovated, so check its current condition at the tourist information office in Wisła or Istebna before setting out.
