Viewtower Fajtův kopec

Viewtower Fajtův kopec is a steel observation tower in Velké Meziříčí standing 36 meters tall with a viewing platform positioned at approximately 32 meters. The structure uses two sets of three counter-spiraling columns for support, and the single-storey base contains a visitor center offering bicycle rentals and restroom facilities.

The tower was completed in 2015 as an initiative by the nearby ski resort to increase tourism and outdoor activities in the region. This project reflected local efforts to establish the area as a destination for leisure and sports activities.

The tower is named after the nearby ski resort and serves as a meeting point for hikers and cyclists from the region. Its modern steel structure functions as a visual landmark that shapes how locals and visitors experience the surrounding landscape.

Stairs inside the spiral columns lead up to the viewing platform, and the base offers bicycle rentals and sports equipment for visitors. Plan your visit on clear days to enjoy the best views, and allow sufficient time for the climb to the top.

On clear days, visitors can see four distinct geographical regions from the platform: the Czech-Moravian Highlands, the Žďárské hills, the Drahany Highlands, and even peaks across the Austrian border. This rare panoramic view makes it a compelling spot for photographers and nature observers.
