1. A cable guiding structure adapted for guiding at least one cable within a tower of a wind turbine, wherein the tower has a height in a substantially vertical direction and a width in a substantially horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction, the cable guiding structure comprising:
a horizontal movement element at least partially movable in the width direction of the tower, the horizontal movement element comprising a receiving part that receives the cable, the receiving part movable along a stationary supporting element;
the receiving part slidably mounted on the stationary element during operation of the wind turbine to allow movement of the cable in the width direction of the tower induced by changing operational parameters of the wind turbine.
