Hořidla, Observation tower in Czechia
Hořidla is an observation tower in Litoměřice District in the Czech Republic, standing on a hilltop at approximately 371 meters elevation. The metal structure reaches 14 meters in height with 67 steps leading to an open viewing platform that overlooks the surrounding landscape.
The observation tower was built in 2008 by Atlas Steel company, with support from the local municipality of Chotiněvs and the Ministry of Finance. The official opening ceremony took place in December that year.
Access to the tower is only on foot via paths through fields or forests from several starting points such as Chotiněvs, Jištěrp, or from the road between Třebutičkami and Encovany. The tower is freely accessible year-round and can be visited at any time.
From the 13-metre platform, 67 steps up, the view takes in Sedlo (726 m), the highest peak of the Verneřice part of the České středohoří, plus Ronov and Vlhošť in the Ralská pahorkatina, Radobýl, Lovoš and Říp. The tower stands on a neovolcanic hill of the same name at 371 m, southwest of Chotiněves.
