Dobře ukrytá rozhledna Járy Cimrmana

This is a wooden observation tower in Březová nad Svitavou that reaches 20 meters high with a viewing platform about 15 meters above ground. It stands in the Pardubice region and opens views over the surrounding landscape along the Svitava River valley.

Construction of the tower began in 2006 and was completed in June 2007, with the opening attended by prominent Czech actors. Its founding took place during a period when the region expanded recreational trails and viewpoints for visitors.

The tower is named after Jára Cimrman, a fictional Czech character celebrated in theater and popular culture. This naming reflects a unique Czech tradition of affectionate humor surrounding this invented figure.

The tower is open to visitors throughout the year and can be reached via a nature trail that starts from Dlouhá railway station. The route leads through the Svitava valley and features information panels along the way about local nature and history.

The tower forms part of an educational trail with 13 information panels distributed along the Svitava valley that teach visitors about the region. Many visitors overlook this learning component and see it simply as a viewpoint.
