Category: wooden observation tower

This wooden lookout tower on the Hřebeč Ridge near Kunčina resembles a mine headframe in shape. Standing at 592 m above sea level on the eastern foot of Strážný vrch (610 m), it is 17 m tall, with 67 steps leading up to the viewing platform at a height of 14 metres. It opened to the public on 4 July 2010 as part of the Hřebeč Mining Trail project. The view takes in Moravská Třebová and the Boskovice Furrow, the Zábřeh Highlands with Lázek, Suchý vrch and Buková hora, and in good visibility even Králický Sněžník.
