Rozhledna na skokanském můstku Churáňov, Observation tower on ski jumping hill in Stachy, Czech Republic
The Rozhledna na skokanském můstku Churáňov is a lookout tower built into the former ski jumping hill between Churáňov and Zadov, parts of the village of Stachy in the Prachatice district. Its 2014–2015 reconstruction replaced the windows, added a new titanium-zinc staircase, repaired the viewing platform and gave the steel structure an anti-corrosion coating. A climbing wall stands on its southwestern side, with a children's playground beside the tower.
