Varhošť, Summit in České středohoří, Czech Republic

Located at an elevation of 639 meters, Varhošť features a steel observation tower offering views across the eastern Czech Central Mountains region.

The first wooden viewing platform was constructed in 1891 by the Litoměřice Society, marking the beginning of several structural changes over the following decades.

The current 15-meter steel tower, completed in 1973, represents local architectural design and engineering capabilities from the Litoměřice region.

Visitors need to climb 68 steps to reach the observation deck, which underwent renovations in 2001 and 2003 to improve safety and accessibility.

The construction of the tower required helicopter transportation of a 13-ton steel framework, while the base stones were manually carried up the hill.
