U Lidušky, Steel observation tower in Bílovice nad Svitavou, Czech Republic.

U Lidušky is a steel observation tower standing 29 meters tall at an elevation of 336 meters. From the covered platform at its top, visitors see forests, rolling hills, and distant districts of Brno.

The idea of building a lookout emerged in Bílovice nad Svitavou at the start of the 21st century, pushed by long-serving councillor Josef Zavadil. In 2018 the Časnýř microregion took over the project and built the tower with a grant from the Ministry for Regional Development and contributions from donors, at a cost of nearly six million CZK. It was named after the little girl Liduška, whom the writer Rudolf Těsnohlídek found in the local woods before Christmas Eve 1919. The tower opened on 26 October 2021.

The tower is named after Liduška, the abandoned girl Rudolf Těsnohlídek found in the local forests shortly before Christmas 1919. The name ties the structure to the writer's story and to the Těsnohlídkovo údolí below it.

Visitors climb 133 steps, with 131 made of metal and 2 of concrete, to reach the observation platform at the top. Sturdy footwear and basic fitness help make the ascent comfortable.

The tower bears the name of Liduška, the abandoned girl Rudolf Těsnohlídek found in these forests shortly before Christmas 1919. The idea came from long-serving Bílovice councillor Josef Zavadil, and the Mikroregion Časnýř built the structure in 2018–2021 for almost six million CZK, mostly covered by a Ministry for Regional Development grant and contributors.
