The Śnieżnik Lookout Tower is an impressive landmark in the Śnieżnik Mountains region. It offers fantastic views of the surrounding landscape and is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. The tower is located on the summit of Śnieżnik, which, at approximately 1,425 meters, is one of the highest peaks in the region.

The Śnieżnik Tower named after Emperor Wilhelm I was built between 1895 and 1899 and stood there until 1973. The total height of the Śnieżnik Tower is 33.5 meters. Two cylindrical towers with observation platforms at heights of 17.4 meters and 29.9 meters served as a distinctive landmark. The entrance was located in the larger tower and led to a 5-meter-high hall, which was named the Kaiser Wilhelm I Memorial Hall. Narrow, arched windows illuminated the hall, which had a diameter of 8 meters. Inside, there was a 1.23-meter-high bust of the emperor and a commemorative plaque dedicated to the builders.

Several years after the destruction of the Śnieżnik Tower named after Emperor Wilhelm I (built in 1899), this action was deemed pointless, and discussions began about the need for reconstruction to restore the peak's tourist appeal. Tower on Śnieżnik – history has come full circle, and investors and originators have begun to face similar problems to their predecessors from 100 years ago.
