The tower is 52 metres high and - having climbed up 156 steps - vistas are offered from the gallery elevated 32 metres. In good weather, from this only preserved part of the medieval fortification of the town of Jičín, you can observe its wide surroundings, from Zvičina via the Krkonoše, Kozákov to Ještěd.

During the tourist season, the premises are used for exhibitions, concerts and performances of a local bell-ringer.
