Pyynikki Observation Tower

Pyynikki Observation Tower is a 26-metre tower of red granite on the Pyynikki esker ridge, completed in 1929 to a design by city architect Vilho Kolho. It stands about 75 metres above Lake Pyhäjärvi; a lift and stairs lead to the open top, which looks over Tampere and the lakes Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi. A café at its foot bakes doughnuts.
