Wieża widokowa na Biskupiej Kopie, Observation tower at Biskupska Kupa Mountain in Zlaté Hory, Czech Republic
The stone observation tower reaches 18 meters in height and features an octagonal design with rounded corners at an elevation of 890 meters.
The first viewing platform was constructed in 1875, followed by a wooden tower in 1890, and the current stone structure was completed in 1898.
The tower received its name Kaiser Franz Josef Warte to mark the 50th anniversary of Emperor Franz Josef's reign over the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Visitors can access the tower through an automated gate system and find information panels around the observation gallery explaining the surrounding landscape.
From the observation platform, visitors can see across three mountain ranges: the Jeseníky, Gold, and Opawskie Mountains, with the Tatra Mountains visible in clear conditions.
