Horní les, Observation tower in Rovečné, Czech Republic
Horní les is an iron tower rising above the forests of the Žďárské vrchy region, offering views from multiple levels that look out across the surrounding hills and valleys. The structure features different platforms at varying heights, allowing visitors to experience the landscape from several perspectives.
The tower was built in 2001 as part of expanding telecommunications infrastructure in the region. Since then it has become an important recreational destination for visitors seeking elevated views of the landscape.
The tower serves as a gathering point where visitors can experience the expansive landscape and feel connected to the broader region. Many people use it to spend time with loved ones while taking in the views of the surrounding hills and valleys.
The tower is accessible year-round with parking available at the base and clear signage from the main road. Wear comfortable shoes for the climb, as reaching all viewing platforms requires ascending multiple sets of stairs.
The tower continues to function as an active telecommunications facility while simultaneously serving as a public viewing destination. This means visitors can observe how broadcasting technology and public recreation share the same structure.
