Kleť, Stone observation tower on Klet Mountain, Czech Republic
Klet is a stone observation tower standing about 20 meters tall on a mountain in South Bohemia. From the summit, visitors can look out across the landscape and spot distant mountain ranges on clear days.
The structure was built in 1825 and ranks as Bohemia's oldest stone observation tower. It has remained open to the public ever since, shaping the area for nearly two centuries.
The tower shapes how people experience the South Bohemian landscape from above, drawing visitors seeking wider views of the region. This place connects sightseeing with scientific work, as an active observatory operates nearby.
Visitors can reach the tower by hiking trail or taking a chair lift to reach the summit. Proper footwear and weather protection are important, as the location sits fully exposed to the elements.
The site hosts a working observatory that researches asteroids and participates in international space safety programs. Scientific work continues there alongside tourist visits.
