Rozhledna Barborka, Observation tower in Svinčany, Czech Republic.
The wooden and steel tower rises 13.8 meters above ground level, offering a viewing platform at 10 meters through a staircase of 47 steps.
Construction of the tower began in 2003 as part of a regional cycling route project, with financial support from grants provided by the Pardubice Region.
The tower received its name Barborka in reference to Saint Barbara, patron saint of miners, connecting to the area's stone mining history from 16th century.
The tower opens daily from June to September between 9:00 and 19:00, while weekend visits are possible during spring and autumn months.
From the observation deck, visitors can see the Iron Mountains, Eagle Mountains, Giant Mountains, and the entire Elbe River region on clear days.
