Velký Kosíř, Observation tower in Slatinky, Czech Republic
Velký Kosíř is a modern steel and concrete tower that rises roughly 28 meters high, providing panoramic views across the landscapes of the Olomouc region and the Haná plains. The structure allows visitors to see the surrounding countryside from above and take in different perspectives on fields, forests, and villages.
The tower was completed in 2013 and brought a modern architectural element to this long-established natural landscape. It was built to give hikers and visitors better access to the views across this region.
The tower serves as a gathering point where hikers and locals spend time enjoying the expansive views across the region. It has become a popular spot for celebrating regional events and experiencing the countryside from an elevated vantage point.
Visitors can climb the tower during daylight hours, with the best experience on clear days when visibility is at its greatest. Marked hiking trails lead to the base and connect to nearby parking areas, making access straightforward.
The tower was built using materials and forms that reflect the surrounding natural area, incorporating geometric patterns inspired by local geological formations. This thoughtful design subtly connects modern architecture with the natural landscape of the Haná region.
