Haniperk, Observation tower in Vodňany, Czech Republic.

Haniperk is a 24.5-metre wooden observation tower on Svobodná hora near Vodňany, built in 2019 to a design by architect Jiří Ondřich. Its square plan rests on four footings, with posts of doubled laminated logs bolted together and steel joints. A roofed viewing platform sits 21 metres above the summit, reached by 110 steps.

Plans for a wooden tower on Svobodná hora date from 2009, designed by architect Jiří Ondřich, who also designed towers on Boubín and near Chotilsko. Construction was realized ten years later, and the tower opened on 28 October 2019. The City of Vodňany was the investor, with support from the Rural Development Programme.

The name Haniperk was chosen in a public survey and comes from "Hanina hora", linked to a story of unrequited love between Prince Schwarzenberg and Hana of Svobodné Hory. The tower was opened on 28 October and is owned by the town of Vodňany.

The tower stands on Svobodná hora, about 5 km southwest of Vodňany, with parking at Svobodná Hora and a short walk to the structure. It is open daily from 9 am to 6 pm and admission is free, though donations toward maintenance are welcome. It may close in bad weather or for maintenance.
