Alexandrova rozhledna

Alexandrova rozhledna, Stone observation tower in Babice nad Svitavou, Czech Republic.

Alexandrova rozhledna is a stone tower on the Nad Střelčím ridge above the Adamov valley, in the cadastre of Babice nad Svitavou. It stands 17 metres high and has a metal observation deck reached by a ladder, with a television transmitter on its roof.

Alexandrova rozhledna was designed by architect Oscar Mratschek and built by Martin Fleischhacker's firm for 15,000 gold coins, opening to tourists on 4 September 1887. It was named after Alexander Suchánek, chairman of the Brno section of the Austrian Tourist Club, who promoted its construction. Damaged in World War II, it was fully repaired in the 1970s and reconstructed in 2007–2009, reopening on 16 May 2009.

The tower draws visitors on weekends who enjoy watching the landscape from an elevated vantage point and taking photographs of the surrounding countryside. It serves as a gathering place for people seeking outdoor recreation in the region.

The tower stands in the Babice nad Svitavou cadastre but belongs to the town of Adamov, which co-funded the 2009 renovation. Hiking trails lead up from both Babice nad Svitavou and Adamov, roughly a 30-minute walk. The iron balcony and ladder added in the 1970s give access to the view, which opens mainly to the south.

The tower is owned by the town of Adamov even though it stands in the cadastre of Babice nad Svitavou, and Adamov co-financed the 2009 renovation. Since 2014 a night illumination has been fitted, switched on only outside summer time because of CHKO conservation rules.
