Rohuľa lookout tower 595,6 m above sea level - it collapsed

Rohuľa Hill (595.6 m above sea level) is located in the Ondavská Highlands of the Low Beskid Mountains and lies between the villages of Nižná and Vyšná Jedľová, Belejovce, Kružľová and Kapišová.
The tourist lookout tower is built on the original place where the measuring towers stood. It has the shape of a quadrilateral igloo, with four observation platforms. The highest fourth floor is 14 m high. There is a set of four wooden ladders leading upwards, which are not secured by railings, so climbing up can be a problem for tourists with a less steady step. Parents of very young children and older visitors should therefore consider their abilities.
If the weather is good, you will be able to see the Tatra Mountains from the tower thanks to the view rose, which consists of Poloniny, Sninský kameň, Vihorlat, Slanské vrchy, Makovica, Čergov, Stebnicka Magura, Stavok and the Tatras.

Update: the lookout tower collapsed in December 2019.
