Category: wooden observation tower

A wooden observation tower built in 2005 at the summit of Velký Lopeník (911 m a.s.l.) in the Bílé Karpaty mountains, the third highest peak in the South Moravian and Zlín regions. The tower stands 22 m tall with 101 steps. Views extend across the Bílé Karpaty, the Slovak and Czech countryside, and on clear days as far as the Tatras. Freely accessible year-round.

Why visit this place?

• Three wooden lookout towers have stood on the summit: the first, built in 1944, burned down two years later and its replica was destroyed in the 1970s.
• Today's tower was designed by the Moravian architect Svatopluk Sládeček; about 100 metres to the west a spring rises straight out of the rock.
• Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 1,350 visitors on Google Maps.
• Admission is free, which helps when the class budget is tight.
• Allow roughly an hour; the programme is aimed at upper primary and secondary students.
• There are 12 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
