Poledník, Observation tower in Šumava Mountains, Czech Republic.
The Mittagsberg tower reaches an elevation point within the mountainous region, offering views across the landscapes of Czechia, Germany, and Austria.
The structure emerged from military installations during the Cold War period, when it served as a communication and monitoring station along the Iron Curtain.
The tower represents a meeting point between three European nations, reflecting the changes in border relations since the fall of communism in Eastern Europe.
Visitors can access the observation platform through stairs during regular opening hours from April through October, with entrance fees collected at the base.
The tower combines its original military architecture with modern adaptations, maintaining radio equipment while accommodating tourist facilities.
