Rozhledna Žaltman, Observation tower in Radvanice, Czech Republic
Rozhledna Žaltman is a metal observation tower located in Radvanice at an elevation of 739 meters. The structure features four platforms connected by 120 steps, allowing visitors to reach higher vantage points for viewing the surrounding landscape.
The original tower was constructed in 1967 and remained standing for 52 years. After its removal in 2019, a new structure was built the following year through public fundraising efforts.
The tower is named after a nearby hill and serves as a key landmark for hikers navigating the region. People visit it as part of their broader exploration of the surrounding mountain trails.
The tower is accessible year-round at no cost and can be reached by following marked hiking trails from Malé Svatoňovice or nearby towns. Visitors should wear proper footwear for the climb and check weather conditions before heading up.
The new tower incorporates the original concrete footings from 1967 into its new monolithic foundation plate. This connection between old and new structures makes it a meaningful site for those interested in how the place evolved.
