Bývalá navigační věž, Navigation tower in Budišov nad Budišovkou, Czech Republic
The former navigation tower stands on Červená hora at about 748 m in the Nízký Jeseník range, southeast of the summit, in the Guntramovice cadastre of Budišov nad Budišovkou. Only reinforced-concrete remains of the foundations of its steel lattice structure survive on the site.
In 1941 the German Wehrmacht built a radar and meteorological station for the Luftwaffe on Červená hora, including a navigation tower and a wooden building for troops. The tower was demolished in 1995 because wind-induced vibrations disturbed seismic measurements at the nearby meteorological station. Only reinforced-concrete fragments of the lattice steel structure's foundations remain southeast of the summit.
