A wooden 30 m observation tower with a steel staircase ceremoniously opened on 15 April 2006; the structure towers over the town of Vrbice u Kostelce nad Orlicí at an elevation of 445 m above sea level. The main lookout platforms are at the heights of 11 and 25.5 metres; 118 stairs lead to the upper platform. The reward for the climb are breathtaking views of part of Vysočina, the Železné Mts., the Pardubice area, the Hradec Králové area, the Krkonoše Mts., and under good visibility part of the Jeseníky Mts. The observation tower is located near a former 37 metre high observation tower which served as a triangulation point during the Second World War.
