It is a symbol of Gliwice. it's located far from the centre, in the north, but you can reach it by bus. It was built in the 30's, and is made entirely of wood. With height of 111,1 m it is the highest wooden construction in Europe. The terrain around it is nicely kept and there's a small museum. The tower is illuminated. It used to look nicer when it was covered in special paint, but not anymore. The radiostation is reknown for the Gliwice (Gleiwitz) provocation. Before ww2 the city belonged to Germany, but was just across the border and had a Polish minority. Hitler needed an excuse to invade Poland in 1939, so he made some provocations, staging a Polish attack, the most reknown of which is the provocation in Gliwice. Germans staged a Polish uprising and attack on the radiostation, broadcasted a message and left a dead body of a local Polish activist, earlier killed. That's why it is claimed that world war 2 started in Gliwice. Sadly, in few decades the wood will grow too old and the radiostation will fall apart, so hurry up with the visit.

Within a short walk from the railway station, you can visit a big greenhouse with a lot of tropical plants including bananas (with fruits), palm trees and a large number of cactus species. The birds in the cages add some "tropical" feeling. Some people find it hard to birds. It is not possible for these species to live outside in Gliwice. I suggest they should write similar opinions for fish in the aquarium - let them go instead of Tanganyika lake to Odra river.
