Observation Tower of the Šelmberk Castle Ruins
Although the castle has suffered many damages since the 14th century, its most important part has remained intact.
The majestic 26-meter-high lookout tower still dominates the Mladá Vožice region. From the castle’s parapet, the surrounding towns and landscape unfold like a panoramic painting.
