The Čierna mláka lookout tower is a part of the Čierna mláka Forest Nature Trail starting in Bardejovské Kúpele.
In November and December 2019, the revitalization of the nature trail took place, which also includes unusual birdhouses installed along the trail and the completed Čierna mláka lookout tower. It offers a magnificent view of the surrounding area and Zborov Castle.
The lookout tower is mounted on concrete footings with dimensions 600x600x1200 mm and anchored by steel strips and threaded rods. The ladder is anchored to the concrete footing with the railing. There are also three benches on the landscaped area with information and directional signs.
