Rozhledna Svatý vrch Kadaň

Location: Svatý kopeček, 432 01 Kadaň · Ústí nad Labem Region

Category: observation gazebo

A lookout tower built in 2003 on Svatý kopeček hill above Kadaň (402 m above sea level). It stands on the site of a viewing gazebo from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries that was destroyed by fire in the 1960s; the stone plinth, entrance staircase and concrete columns survive from the original structure. The tower is 14.5 m tall, the covered viewing platform is at 9 metres and 52 steps lead up to it. Free access year-round at no charge. The view takes in the town of Kadaň, the Ohře river, the Doupovské hory mountains, the Krušné hory mountains and the Prunéřov power plant.
