Rozhledna Tišnov, Observation tower on Klucanina Hill in Tišnov, Czech Republic
Rozhledna Tišnov is a stone observation tower on Klucanina Hill (415 m) above Tišnov. The tower stands at 400.8 m above sea level, measures 29.3 m in total height, and has 133 steps leading to the third viewing platform at 24.6 m. Its design by architects Helena and Luboš Chvílová resembles the original wooden tower.
The first wooden tower on Klucanina was built by the Czech Tourist Club in 1934 and opened with actor Vlasta Burian and athlete Gustav Frištenský present. It decayed during World War II and was demolished in the 1950s, leaving a stone base. The present tower, initiated by the civic association Rozhled na Tišnov and designed by Helena and Luboš Chvíl, opened on 11 October 2003.
The tower draws hikers and locals seeking views of the surrounding land. People stop here to rest, take photographs, or simply enjoy a moment overlooking the region.
The tower stands on Klucanina Hill at 400.8 m above sea level and is open year-round with no admission fee. Inside, a staircase of 133 steps leads to the top viewing platform at 24.6 m.
The stone base of the present tower is the surviving foundation of the wooden lookout built by the Czech Tourist Club in 1934. The architects Helena and Luboš Chvíl designed the 2003 tower to echo that earlier wooden structure, and a public collection helped fund it.
