Brdo, Observation tower in Roštín, Czech Republic

Brdo is an observation tower in Roštín with a stone structure and triangular floor plan featuring rounded corners that expand toward the ridge line. Inside, an oak staircase with broad landings leads upward, while the viewing platform at the top has glass panels that can open during fine weather.

The tower was designed by architect Svatopluk Sládeček and built between 2001 and October 2004. This project marked the creation of a new observation structure in this mountainous area.

The sandstone came from the Žlutava quarry and the oak from nearby Chřiby forests. The tower was built by the Sdružení pro podporu místních iniciativ Chřiby, designed by architect Svatopluk Sládeček. Visitors can buy tourist stamp no. 1009 here.

The tower stands on the summit of Brdo, the highest peak of the Chřiby Mountains, and is reached on foot via a marked hiking trail from the Bunč guesthouse, about an hour's walk. The climb to the viewing platform covers 99 steps. A tourist stamp, no. 1009, can be bought at the tower.

The tower was the first stone lookout built in Czechia since the 1930s, and sandstone for it came from the Žlutava quarry, with oak wood from nearby Chřiby forests. Visitors can buy tourist stamp no. 1009 here.
