Vysoký Kamýk, Mountain summit in South Bohemian Region, Czech Republic.
Vysoký Kamýk is a mountain summit in the South Bohemian Region reaching 627 meters in elevation. A steel tower with a viewing platform stands on top, offering views across the valley below.
A seven-sided stone tower was built on the summit in 1941 and served military purposes during World War II. The original structure was later replaced by a modern steel construction that kept the same seven-sided shape.
Hikers use the tower as a stopping point to enjoy views across the surrounding landscape. The 2011 restoration made the structure a popular destination for day trips again.
Hikers can reach the summit from several starting points, such as Protivín railway station or nearby villages. The trails are marked and shorter routes are available from certain towns.
The tower uses its seven-sided shape to fit multiple platforms for mobile phone equipment at different heights. This design combines the historical form of the original structure with modern technological needs.
