The Forest Tower is a spiral lookout tower at the Camp Adventure park near Rønnede in southern Zealand, Denmark, about 59 km in a straight line south-west of Copenhagen. It is 45 m tall and, according to its operators, the highest lookout tower in Zealand and in Scandinavia. The tower officially opened in spring 2019. It was designed by the Danish architecture studio EFFEKT with the engineering firm Arup, and takes the shape of an hourglass of rust-coloured weathering steel, wrapped by a ramp about 650 m long that coils up to the top, so there are no stairs. Visitors reach the tower along a raised wooden boardwalk about 900 m long that zigzags through the forest, then climb the spiral ramp to the top platform at about 135 to 140 m above sea level. From there the view stretches over the forests, fields and lakes of southern Zealand, with the treetops below your feet. Entry is paid, and the park also has tree-top climbing courses. The ramp suits an easy pace, and autumn brings beautiful colours to the forest.
