Drtinova rozhledna, Wooden observation tower in Chotilsko, Czech Republic
The 21-meter tall Drtinova rozhledna stands at an elevation of 496 meters on Besedná hill, offering views across the Central Bohemian landscape.
The original tower opened in 1926 with funding from public donations, including 10,000 Kč from T.G. Masaryk, and was demolished in 1967 for political reasons.
The tower bears the name of Professor František Drtina from nearby Hněvšín and incorporates design elements reminiscent of traditional Hussite watchtowers.
Located at coordinates 49.764541, 14.3764, the observation tower remains open 24 hours daily and connects to multiple hiking trails in the region.
The current structure, rebuilt in 2015, stands on the stone foundations of the original tower and maintains the wooden construction style of its predecessor.
