Velký Chlum lookout tower

it was built at the end of the 20s of the last century, however, the interest of organized tourists in these places was directed already in 1879, when members of the mountain association for Czech Switzerland built a small tourist hut on the neighboring Malé Chlum (447 m.a.s.l.). Its roof then served as a vantage point for visitors. The construction at Malé Chlum enjoyed a great rush of tourists, and the management of the mountain association slowly began to think about expanding the building with a real lookout tower. Although originally planned with a stone tower, limited funds finally allowed only a wooden lookout tower, 14 m high.
