The Sky Walk Swieradow-Zdroj lookout tower with a trail in the clouds is a unique landmark towering above the eponymous spa town of Świeradów-Zdrój, taking you to a height of 62 metres above the ground, from where you can see the romantic buildings of the spa town and the natural beauty of the border area.
Its ground plan is an isosceles triangle. The supporting structure of the footbridge is provided by three truss towers of triangular plan. The whole thus forms a spatial truss structure, with the individual interfaces being considered rigid. The walkway winds continuously around the towers, which are supported by struts and suspended by Macalloy rods. All of the tower's supporting elements are made up of steel tubes, and the diagonals of the shell are lined with glued wooden prisms that change the round profile into a square one. The walking part of the walkway is wooden, the walkway is ended at the top of the tower by a viewing platform with a net. The rearmost tip of the platform, which is made of wood, is also entirely glazed. The whole tower is completed by intermediate viewing platforms, rope attractions, an escape staircase and a slide.
Tower height: 59.4 m
Walkway: 799 m long
Materials:
S235 and S355 steel
Larch glued lumber
Spruce plywood
