Our stay in the tower was absolutely magical! Our children (girls 3 and 5 years old) were equally excited about this unusual adventure. We purposely chose to stay in the winter for the romance of candlelight and a fire in the stove, but we will definitely do it again in the summer. The lookout tower had everything we needed - dishes, wood for the stove, a gas bomb to heat food, candles, drinking water, eco-friendly dishwashing liquid, and a lavor for washing dishes. As for the surroundings of the tower - great! There are clean "kadibouds" with toilet paper, several fireplaces, lots of toys and other fun things for children, a pizza oven, two shelters for sitting, deck chairs for relaxing, swings... The place is absolutely quiet (the distance from the nearest village is about 400 m - I guess, I'm a woman, I have no idea :D We had access to all the floors of the tower, including the gallery, where we could watch the stars - and there were a lot of them that night :) We will definitely be back!

Beautiful lookout tower in a nice location. The stove came in handy in the cold weather and soon warmed up the area. Everything that was needed was there.
