Rozhledna Obora, Observation tower in Praha-Troja, Czech Republic.

Rozhledna Obora was a wooden observation tower in Prague Zoo, built of spruce and standing 18.5 meters tall. Its design copied the tower that has stood on Smrk, the highest peak of the Czech Jizera Mountains, since 1892. It was dismantled in May 2018 after wood-decaying fungus attacked its structure.

Built in four months and opened on 13 June 2009, the tower was a copy of the 1892 lookout on Smrk, the highest peak of the Czech Jizera Mountains. It stood only until May 2018, when it was dismantled because wood-decaying fungus had attacked the spruce and pine structure.

The tower was a copy of the 1892 lookout on Smrk, the highest peak of the Czech Jizera Mountains. Entry cost 20 Kč until April 2012, after which it was free, and a turnstile kept the number of visitors at thirty at a time.

Access to the tower requires a Prague Zoo ticket, as it is located within the zoo grounds. Visitors should note that capacity is limited, with room for about 30 people at any given time.

The tower was a copy of the 1892 lookout on Smrk, the highest peak of the Czech Jizera Mountains. It was dismantled in May 2018 after wood-decaying fungus attacked the spruce and pine structure, worsened by poorly made joints that let water inside.
