Why visit this place?

• The tower was initiated by the Holík family, who in 2008 bought the land from the village of Vyžlovka for both the tower and a nature trail.
• It was built by Teplotechna Ostrava, and in clear weather you can see the Krkonoše mountains over 100 kilometres away.
• Admission is free, which helps when the class budget is tight.
• Allow roughly 45 minutes; the programme is aimed at lower primary, upper primary and secondary students.
• There are 62 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
• An outdoor trip that, according to our records, runs all year round.
