Danes love to mark the spiral tower

   The Marsk Tower, a new landmark in the Skébaek region in Denmark, is officially open to the public. This is a double helix structure observation tower, also known as the "DNA" tower. Its unique design has attracted a lot of attention (pictured). In fact, Denmark has had many tower buildings since ancient times, and the spiral tower has its roots in history and culture. Today, the concept of tower architecture has been extended to many areas, and landmarks of spiral towers can be found in many places.

   Marsker Tower is a viewing platform in the famous Wadden Sea Marsh Park in Denmark. Two spiral staircases spiral up counterclockwise alternately. During the climbing process, visitors will see the marsh scenery and the distant seascape one by one. A glance. The double helix structure, one for the upward movement and the other for the downward movement, the wonderful thing is that there is a vertical ladder in the center of the spiral, which allows wheelchairs to reach the top of the tower. The 25-meter tower is not too high, but there are no obstacles around it. The spiral is like a giant screw wedged on the ground, adding a touch of rhythm to the charming but slightly desolate scenery around it.

   Coincidentally, there is a taller spiral tower viewing platform in the Heathlev Forest Park south of Copenhagen. The 45-meter-high spiral tower is thick at both ends and slender in the middle. It stands in the primeval forest, not only like a raised waist drum, but also like an elastic flower basket. The unique shape makes the observation deck itself a landscape. . Many tourists come here to buy tickets for more than ten euros to experience a 360-degree viewing angle and a unique experience of being integrated with nature. Starting from the ground, the spiral trail rises slowly at a constant angle of 8 degrees. As the height climbs, visitors will look at the forest from upward to horizontal, and finally to overlook, just like experiencing the "normal people's perspective" and "monkey's perspective". Bird's perspective". The circumference of the top and bottom of the tower are both 28 meters, and the slender waist in the middle is only 14 meters in circumference. This design is not only for beautiful appearance and saving building materials, but also to leave space for the surrounding canopy to allow the tower People are in closer contact with trees.

   Not only in the wild, there are also many spiral towers in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. The Round Tower, built in 1642, is the most significant landmark in the Old Town of Denmark and was personally designed by the Danish King Christian IV at the time. The tower is round when viewed from the outside, while the inside is a spiral walkway. For hundreds of years, the round tower has been the true “landmark” of Copenhagen. When you walk along the spiral path to the top of the tower, you will find a geographic “zero point”, which is the standard base point for local people to measure distance. The Danes cherish the round tower very much and once named an asteroid after the round tower.
