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 tower's origin traces to Christmas Eve 1919, when three Brno intellectuals discovered an abandoned child in the surrounding forest. This discovery became the basis for the tower's name and the memorial.
The location connects to the tale of Liška Bystrouška, a story deeply rooted in regional folklore. This legacy shapes how locals and visitors understand the area today.
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.
Yellow markers from the Czech Tourist Club guide visitors from the Za Boudou intersection to the Liduška Memorial near the tower. These trail marks connect to a broader network that links various sites across the region.
