Na Signálu, Observation tower in Náchod region, Czech Republic
Na Signálu is a 29-metre tower on Signál hill (505 m) above the Slavíkov settlement near Horní Radechová, about 5 km north of Náchod. Four supporting columns rise from a reinforced concrete slab, with a steel spiral staircase leading to a roofed viewing platform 25 m above the ground.
The tower was built in 2014 as a modern addition to observation structures in the Czech Republic. Since its opening, it has become a popular destination for those exploring the local landscape.
The tower's name comes from the hill Signál, and its opening on 13 December 2014 was celebrated with a blessing by Náchod vicar Václav Hegr, a tasting of old Bohemian cuisine and music by the band Klapeto. It stands above the settlement of Slavíkov, near the First Republic heavy fortification line.
