Kbíl lookout tower, Observation tower and transmitter station in Švejcarova Lhota, Czech Republic

Kbíl lookout tower is a steel structure in Švejcarova Lhota that rises 42 meters high and combines technical functions with public access. An observation platform sits at 27 meters and is reached by climbing 150 metal grating steps.

The structure was built in 2008 as a combined telecommunications facility for T-Mobile and recreational viewing point at an elevation of 664 meters. This dual-purpose design reflected the growing interest in combining utility with public access.

Located near the Kbíl dolmen, the tower stands among important geological formations that generate discussions about natural versus human-made prehistoric structures.

The tower stands on Kbíl hill at 664 m, about 1.3 km from Libětice. The viewing platform at 27 m is reached by a spiral staircase; the open gallery gives a circular view. Allow time for the climb and check the weather before setting out.

The open gallery at 27 metres gives a full circular view: Strakonice, the Šumava with Boubín and Bobík, Libín, Kleť, the Brdy with Třemšín, the Temelín nuclear plant, the Blatensko area and the Písek hills. The tower stands on Kbíl hill at 664 metres, about 1.3 km from Libětice.
