The observation tower consists of two separate operating units: a single-storey base, which now houses a visitor center, bicycle and sports equipment rental, toilets and technical facilities, and the tower structure which lies on top of the base. The tower was developed from parametric design, enabling the structure to take its particular shape. The steel structure consists of two sets of three counter-spiraling columns forming a stable construction, and it reaches a total height of 36 meters.
