The tower is located in Tampere, on Pyynikinharju ridge. The tower was completed in 1929, to honour the city's 150th anniversary. A cafe selling popular sugar doughnuts is located on the base of the tower.
The tower itself reaches only 26 metres, but the actual elevation is almost 190 metres from sealevel and a bit over 110 metres from the nearby lake Pyhäjärvi.
During the summer weeks on Tuesdays motorcyclists gather at the tower to spend their evening by fellow motorists. This habit traces back to years 1932-1971 when motorbike races were arranged on the ridge. #attraction #cafe #doughnut #kahvila #munkki #näkötorni #observation #pyynikki #tampere #tower
