Kleť, Stone observation tower on Klet Mountain, Czech Republic
The stone tower rises 20 meters above the summit of Klet Mountain, providing views over South Bohemia and distant peaks of the Alps.
Built in 1825, this structure stands as the oldest stone observation tower in Bohemia, marking nearly two centuries of continuous public access.
The tower complex includes the highest located sundial in Bohemia and connects to an active astronomical observatory that discovered 1019 asteroids.
Visitors can reach the tower through a 2-kilometer hiking trail or by taking a chair lift that covers 1792 meters of distance.
The observatory near the tower participates in the Space Safety Programme, conducting research on Near Earth Objects through its KLENOT telescope.
