The Dukla Observation Tower has a new speed lift after nearly 50 years. Designed for improved safety and larger capacity, the speed lift will be available to visitors to the Museum of Military History Svidník as early as this summer season. The funding for the lift replacement was secured by the Ministry of Defence. By restoring the sites connected with our history, the MOD seeks to support the public interest and especially that of young people in Slovak military history and place greater emphasis on deepening patriotism, as it committed to in the Government Manifesto.
Director of the Institute of Military History Col Miloslav Čaplovič said: “Thanks to the new speed lift with larger passenger capacity, the exhibition premises capturing the bloodiest battlefield of our country in WW2, i.e. the Carpatho-Dukla Operation, can now be visited from May to October by more visitors who can take a lift up the 49-metre-tall observation tower with greater safety and comfort.”
Operational since 1974 when the Dukla Observation Tower first opened to the public, the original technically outdated lift has been replaced by a new one. The lift installation works were put out to tender and have now been completed by the winning company. The contract is duly recorded in the Central Register of Contracts. The approval procedure for the lift installation works is now underway.
