Praděd Tower, Observation tower and transmitter station in Malá Morávka, Czech Republic

Praděd Tower is a 146.5-metre concrete transmitter on the summit of Praděd in the Hrubý Jeseník range, at 1,637–1,638 m above sea level. Its cylindrical shaft carries a glazed observation deck at 73 m, a steel tube above, and a laminated antenna tip. The broad base holds a hotel and restaurant; black lettering on the facade reads "HORSKÝ HOTEL."

A Gothic-style stone tower dating to 1912 once stood here but deteriorated from weather damage and collapsed in 1959. The current concrete structure was built to replace the damaged original.

The tower's official name is Televizní frekvenčně modulovaný a ultrakrátkovlnný vysílač Praděd. A wooden sculpture called Kapka, springing from the Jeseníky forests, once stood at the entrance; fire regulations moved it to a meeting room closed to the public.

Two lifts run up the concrete shaft to the glazed viewing deck at 73 m; the highest continuously accessible platform lies 20 m below the summit and the antenna above it is climbed only during transmitter shutdowns. An asphalt road from Ovčárna, built for the construction, now serves supplies. In good weather Sněžka, Lysá hora and Radhošť are visible, rarely the Vysoké Tatry and Malá Fatra.

The summit of the tower, between 1,637 and 1,638 m above sea level, is the highest fixed artificial point in Czechia, higher than the summit of Sněžka. The highest continuously accessible spot is a platform 20 m below the top; the 20 m antenna mast above it can be climbed only when the transmitter is shut down.
