Vysílač Hladnov, Radio transmitter station in Slezská Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Vysílač Hladnov is a radio transmitter station in Slezská Ostrava situated at an elevation of about 266 meters, broadcasting signals across a large portion of the region. The facility uses two separate water towers to distribute television and radio signals simultaneously.
The transmitter underwent major modernization between August and October 2020, transitioning from analog to digital broadcasting technology. This upgrade allowed the facility to transmit more stations with improved quality.
The station maintains communication channels for local residents by transmitting multiple radio stations, including Evropa 2 at 97.7 MHz and Radio Beat.
The facility can be seen from the nearby village and is accessible from hiking trails in the surrounding area. The best time to visit is on clear days when you can make out the structure and the landscape around the station.
The structure consists of two original water towers that were repurposed for different broadcasting functions, an unusual solution for space use in the region. This dual purpose makes it a rare example of technical adaptation in the landscape.
