Vartovna observation tower, Observation tower in Seninka, Czech Republic.
The Vartovna tower rises 37 meters into the sky, featuring a spiral design with a left-handed staircase leading to its viewing platform at 35 meters.
The location for the tower was selected based on its historical function as a strategic viewpoint during periods of potential Turkish invasions in the region.
The Czech Mint honored the tower in 2018 by issuing a silver commemorative medal as part of a series celebrating notable observation towers.
Visitors can reach the tower by following marked hiking trails, including a 2-kilometer yellow-marked path from Seninka village or the blue-marked route from Pozděchov.
The tower incorporates 270 cubic meters of reinforced concrete and 51.5 tons of iron, connecting with Slovakia's Tlsta mountain through a 50-kilometer network of trails.
