Jedlová Lookout, Observation tower in Lusatian Mountains, Czech Republic.

The Jedlová Lookout is a 29-metre cylindrical stone tower on Jedlová, the third-highest peak of the Lusatian Mountains. Its ground floor has a blind arcade, the floors are separated by cornices, and the gallery at 23 metres is crowned by a battlement-shaped attic with a conical roof. A 125-step staircase leads up.

Construction began in 1890 after Prince Kinsky granted permission and was completed in 1891. Local quarried stones formed the foundation of this mountain structure from that era.

The tower's name comes from Jedlová, the mountain whose Czech name refers to fir trees. In the 1890s the tourist press called it the Rigi of the Lusatian Mountains because its views recalled Mount Rigi in the Swiss Alps. A lantern under the small cupola served for decades as a lighthouse of the Lusatian Mountains.

The tower is reached on foot via the red-marked trail no. 0332, part of the European long-distance route E3; the climb from Jiřetín pod Jedlovou takes about an hour and a half. Entry is ticketed, with tickets sold at the restaurant beneath the tower. The tower is open from April to October, not year-round.

The lantern under the small cupola earned the tower the nickname "lighthouse of the Lusatian Mountains", a role it kept for decades. In the tourist press of the time it was called the Rigi of the Lusatian Mountains, after the Swiss mountain whose views it recalled.
