Category:Salaš, Observation tower in Salaš, Czech Republic.

The Salaš Lookout Tower is a steel-framed structure with wooden cladding, 21.1 metres tall, standing at 366 metres above sea level in the Chřiby Mountains. Its shape recalls a pipe wrench, and 112 steps lead up to the viewing platform. The design came from an architectural competition won by architect Jan Smékal of CAD Projekt plus s.r.o.

The steel tower with wooden cladding was built between autumn 2014 and August 2015 above the village of Salaš in the Chřiby mountains. It was financed by a private investor, and its design came from an architectural competition won by the office CAD Projekt plus s.r.o. with a proposal by architect Jan Smékal.

The tower's shape is modelled on a hasák, the Czech word for a pipe wrench, a nod to the steel-and-timber construction. It stands on the Chřiby ridge above the village of Salaš at 366 metres, and the 112 steps lead to views over the Chřiby hills.

The tower stands at 366 metres above sea level near the village of Salaš in the Chřiby mountains. Access to the viewing platform is by 112 steps; there is no lift. The structure is steel with wooden cladding, so the stairs and platform are exposed to wind and rain.

The architectural design incorporates two interlocking seven-shaped forms, creating a structure that stands out among Czech observation towers.
