Havran, Observation tower in Lesná, Czech Republic

The Havran tower rises 24.4 meters above ground level, featuring a steel structure with a flat roof offering views of surrounding landscapes.

Built in the 1980s as a military radio surveillance station, the tower underwent transformation in 2013 when the Tachov Military History Club saved it from demolition.

The tower represents the transformation of former military installations into public recreational facilities across the Czech-German border region after 1989.

Visitors can reach the tower through three marked hiking trails starting from Pavlova Studence, Lesná, or Rozvadov, with the final ascent covering 3700 meters.

From the observation platform, visitors can see multiple mountain ranges including Slavkovský les, Český les, and the Alps during clear weather conditions.
