Kovářka Lookout Tower

Kovářka Lookout Tower

The Kovářka lookout tower was designed and built by local blacksmith Ladislav Dobeš. The tower, made of stone, stands 13 meters tall and features a steel spiral staircase.

After climbing 50 steps, visitors reach a wooden observation deck, offering a stunning view of the entire region.

The tower is not only for sightseeing but also for exploring—it also functions as a blacksmith museum. Mr. Dobeš spent years collecting old journeyman and apprenticeship certificates, historical photographs of now-vanished local forges, and blacksmithing tools from across the region. Every blacksmith had their own unique tools and equipment. The collection, displayed both inside the tower and outside on the small courtyard, is extensive and diverse—definitely worth a visit!
