Erbenova vyhlídka, Stone observation tower in Dobětice, Czech Republic.

Erbenova vyhlídka is a stone observation tower in Dobětice that provides wide views across the surrounding landscape from its viewing platform. The structure rises about 15 meters and is reached by 56 steps that climb to an elevation of 420 meters.

A wooden predecessor stood here from 1889, standing about 20 meters tall on a stone base, but a severe windstorm destroyed it in 1898. The current stone tower was built in 1933 to restore a viewing point for visitors to the area.

The tower is named after Alexander Erben, chairman of the Czech Tourist Club, at whose initiative it was rebuilt in 1933 into its present form. The club had already raised the structure from the ruins on 2 July 1934, and the name has stuck locally as Erbenka.

The tower stands on the Brandtova výšina ridge on the northern edge of Ústí nad Labem, about 2.7 km from the city centre, in the Dobětice district. The summit is 420 m high and the viewing platform is reached by climbing the tower. The structure was raised by one floor during the 2006 reconstruction, which was officially opened on 15 October 2006.

The tower has been rebuilt repeatedly: a wooden structure from 1889 fell in a storm in 1898, its beam replacement was blown down in 1903, and lightning finished off the ruins in 1911. The Czech Tourist Club built the present stone tower from the rubble, and a 2006 renovation added a floor.
