The mountain is located in Dzierżoniów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.

The peak made up of metamorphic rocks of the Precambrian rises above the village of Walim near Dzierżoniów in the north and the Nysa Kłodzka Valley in the west.

The granite and reinforced concrete construction replaced an older wooden viewing tower located about 30 m (98 ft) to the south.

Renamed several times after World War II, it recently has been restored in the course of the EU Interreg incentive program and re-opened in 2008.

It is today just called wieża widokowa (observation tower) and offers a panoramic view to the Krkonoše range, to Mount Ślęża, into the Kłodzko Valley and over the Oder Basin in the north up to Wrocław on a bright day.
