Žernov, Observation tower in Žernov, Czech Republic
Žernov is an observation tower built from wood and steel, featuring five separate viewing platforms stacked vertically. The structure stands as a simple viewing structure within a nature reserve, allowing visitors to see the landscape from different heights.
The tower opened in 2014 as part of a regional initiative to create new viewpoints across the area. The project brought together communities working to develop outdoor access and tourism infrastructure.
The tower represents modern Czech architectural design, integrating natural materials within the National Nature Reserve of Babiččinou údolí landscape.
The tower is easy to reach and well-marked on local cycling routes in the area. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the paths can be uneven, especially during wet conditions.
The tower was built as part of a cross-border network of viewpoints connecting several communities. Cyclists often combine a visit here with stops at other towers in the network to explore the broader landscape.
