Olšová u Pohoře, Observation tower near Pohor, Czech Republic.

Olšová u Pohoře is an observation tower near Pohor in the Moravian-Silesian region built from wood. It stands 17 meters tall with a viewing platform positioned at 13 meters, accessed by climbing 64 steps.

The town of Odry planned the tower to attract visitors and recall its historical roots, but its first site, Skalka near the Skalní sklepy cellars, was refused by the landowner Lesy ČR. The hill Olšová near Pohoř was chosen instead. Construction ran from May to September 2014, financed with 300,000 Kč from the town and a 1.6 million Kč grant from the Regional Operational Programme NUTS II Moravskoslezsko 2007–2013.

The tower lets visitors photograph the natural landscape framed by the Moravian Gate and capture views across the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy mountains.

The tower stands on the 475 m summit of Olšová, about 250 m from the village of Pohoř, with parking for a few cars beside it. A covered bench and several information boards are at its foot, and the tower is a stop on the Stříbrný chodník educational trail. The 64 steps to the 13 m platform are open-air.

The tower's shape and materials copy the golden crenellated watchtower on the coat of arms of Odry, the town that funded it. The design by architect Miroslav Slíva, who had already built the similar Šance tower near Jakubčovice, was chosen for that heraldic reference.
