Drtinova rozhledna, Wooden observation tower in Chotilsko, Czech Republic
Drtinova rozhledna is a wooden observation tower in Chotilsko that stands on Besedná hill at an elevation of 496 meters. Visitors can climb to take in expansive views across the Central Bohemian landscape and connect to multiple hiking trails in the region.
The original tower was built in 1926 but was demolished later for political reasons. The current structure was rebuilt in 2015 using the stone foundations of the earlier construction.
The tower bears the name of Professor František Drtina from nearby Hněvšín and incorporates design elements reminiscent of traditional Hussite watchtowers.
The tower is open around the clock and sits in an area with well-marked hiking paths. Visitors should plan to spend several minutes walking up the hill and climbing the interior stairs.
The tower is named after Professor František Drtina from the nearby town of Hněvšín. This naming choice connects the structure to local scholarly traditions in the area.
