Category: steel lookout tower

This steel lattice lookout tower from 2001 stands near Záboří in the Blatná region at an elevation of 588 m. The tower was built by the EXCON company for the operator T-Mobile beside the road between Záboří and Čečelovice; it measures 35 metres and 138 steps lead up to the viewing platform at 25 metres. After disputes between the authorities and the owners it was closed for years, and in 2023 the Klub přátel rozhleden (Lookout Tower Friends Club) reopened it to the public. The view extends over the Blatná, Horažďovice and Strakonice areas, and to the Brdy hills, the Šumava mountains and the Temelín nuclear power plant.
