Brdo, Mountain peak in Roštín, Czech Republic
Brdo is the highest summit of the Chřiby range and of the entire Central Moravian Carpathians, rising to 587.4 m. It lies 2.5 km southeast of Roštín in the Kroměříž district, and its summit carries a 24 m stone lookout tower.
The site held fortifications during the late Bronze Age, with remnants still visible from that period. A wooden observation tower stood on the summit until its decline in the 1970s.
The current stone observation tower, constructed in 2004, represents the first such structure built in the region since the 1930s.
The 24-metre stone tower stands on the summit; its viewing level is reached by stairs. The summit lies 2.5 km southeast of Roštín, and marked hiking trails lead up from the surrounding villages. The tower was completed in 2004 and inaugurated on 28 October 2004.
South of the summit runs the embankment of an unfinished motorway, and two kilometres northeast in the forest stands a motorway bridge. Both are relics of a road project that was never completed, visible on walks around the mountain.
