"A little bit wobbly but still feels safe. Great view. It's close walking distance from road - follow the yellow marking."
Alžbeta Štajerová
"One of the nearest 'Rozhlednas' from Brno city center, if you follow the Google maps you could get lost when arriving from the bus stop, so keep walking towards the road at the end and turn left going and left again walking beside of the road if you are the kind of adventurer (the safest way is keep walking at the avenue and turn the first street right, following the yellow signs of the track.
The tower have a really nice view, with two levels and easy to climb (the stairs has 90 steps) . Check some 360 pictures that we did to better represent the experience and good hiking!"
