Towers and Masts

The lookout tower in the Giant Mountains (Czech: Krkonoše) is the second adventure trail by eak (Erlebnis Akademie AG) in the Czech Republic. At a length of 1,500 m (4,921 ft), it winds its way through the treetops of the mixed mountain forest. It ends at a lookout tower with a height of around 43 m (141 ft), and its platform offers a breathtaking view over the Krkonoše National Park.

Removable guyed masts are used not only for telecommunications purposes, but also for collecting wind data in order to evaluate the profitability of a planned wind farm. These removable and permanent towers can reach heights of up to 150 m (492 ft) and are mounted at the planned windmill height in uninhabited areas.

A timber lookout tower called "Ester" opened in Jerusalem in mid-November 2017. This tower, in the shape of a blooming cactus, was designed by renowned Czech architect Martin Rajniš and is located in the complex of a former hospital from 1887, not far from the Old Town walls. It offers visitors a spectacular view over Jerusalem.
