Moldaublick, Observation tower in Ulrichsberg, Austria.
Moldaublick is a 24-metre steel observation tower on the north-eastern slope of Sulzberg (1041 m) in the municipality of Ulrichsberg, about 1 km from the Austrian-Czech border. The structure, erected in 1967, was previously used as an oil drilling rig in Gänserndorf. A staircase of 137 steps leads to the viewing platform, which faces the Lipno Reservoir and the Bohemian Forest in the Czech Republic.
The 24-metre steel tower was erected in 1967; it had previously served as an oil drilling rig in Gänserndorf before being reassembled on the Sulzberg. It stands on the northeastern slope of the 1041 m Sulzberg, about 1 km from the Austrian-Czech border near Zadní Zvonková.
The tower's Czech name, Vltavská vyhlídka, means "Moldau lookout", after the river whose reservoir it faces. The metal structure was previously an oil drilling rig in Gänserndorf before being set up on Sulzberg in 1967. Hikers reach it on marked trails and cross-country ski routes linking it with the Schwarzenberger Schwemmkanal, Bärenstein and Plöckenstein.
The tower is open from April to November. A roughly 2 km hiking trail leads from the Böhmerwaldarena car park to the viewing tower, and the 137 steps to the platform must be climbed on foot. In winter the tower is reached via cross-country ski trails; the surrounding area is linked by hiking paths and ski routes to the Schwarzenberger Schwemmkanal, Bärenstein and Plöckenstein.
