The bird-watching tower in the Reuss River delta is an exceptional lookout construction in the Urner Alps. Its striking primary framework consists of 48 log timber columns standing in an inclined position. From four viewing platforms, people seeking relaxation enjoy the wonderful view of the river delta, and ornithologists can watch nesting birds.
The tower, with a height of 11.5 m (37.7 ft), was designed by Swiss architect Gion A. Caminada. The structural analysis was performed by Pirmin Jung Engineers, a Dlubal Software customer.
