Jiráskova chata, Observation tower and cultural monument in Dobrošov, Czech Republic.

Located at 624 meters above sea level, Jiráskova chata features a hexagonal tower with a wooden observation platform overlooking the surrounding landscape.

Built in 1895 as the first tourist shelter in Bohemia, the site underwent reconstruction in 1912 by architect Dušan Jurkovič to accommodate growing visitor numbers.

Named after writer Alois Jirásek in 1919, the establishment stands as a testament to Czech architectural heritage under official monument protection.

The facility includes a restaurant serving Czech dishes with indoor and terrace seating, accommodating over 100 guests for celebrations and corporate events.

The structure combines an original 1923 design with a functionalist addition from 1939, created by architect Adolf Erben to expand visitor facilities.
