Poledník

Tower Prášily, Plzeňský kraj, Czech Republic

What to expect

Poledník is a mountain in the Šumava range, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape from its 37-meter-high lookout tower. The tower, which was originally a military facility, has been converted into a lookout point with three viewing platforms. Visitors can climb the 227 steps to the top for a breathtaking view of the Šumava mountains and the Bavarian Forest. The area is also home to several hiking trails, including the Prášilské jezero trail, which takes you through a beautiful forest and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The lookout tower is a great place to visit with family and friends, and the nearby Prášilské jezero lake offers additional opportunities for outdoor activities
