Krudum, Communication and observation tower in Horní Slavkov, Czechia.
Krudum is an iron structure rising 50 meters on Mount Krudum with a viewing platform at 29.5 meters height accessible by 152 steps. The construction allows visitors to reach the observation deck to survey the surrounding landscape.
The original tower from 1932 was used for military purposes after World War II before its demolition in the 1970s. The current structure was built in 2008 to replace the earlier building.
The mountain holds regional significance and from its viewing platform, visitors can see the Ore Mountains, Doupov Mountains, Chodov, and Slavkov Forest.
Visitors can reach the tower via a 3-kilometer trail from Hruskova with yellow markers or from the former settlement of Milire using green hiking signs. Both routes lead uphill toward the mountain.
The tower combines telecommunication functions with public viewing access and sits at 835 meters elevation. This blend of practical utility and open access for visitors is uncommon in such structures.
