Veselý vrch, Mountain summit in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic

Located near Mokrsko, Veselý vrch rises 489 meters above sea level with a 42-meter telecommunications tower and observation platform at its peak.

The site prevented gold mining operations in the 1990s, protecting the area from cyanide extraction methods that would have impacted the local environment.

The tower's inauguration in July 1999 featured Czech cyclist Josef Dressler performing a remarkable stair climb on his bicycle with entertainer Václav Krejčí.

Visitors can access the observation deck via 137 steps during seasonal hours, with extended opening times from June through August except Mondays.

The location contains an estimated 80 tons of gold deposits beneath its surface, making it a significant geological site in the Czech Republic.
