With the observation tower and the small kiosk, the Plattenberg is an excellent resting place on a hike on the Anton-Günther-Weg. The wooden tower once belonged to a hotel on the mountain, which was demolished in the 1970s. Residents from the surrounding villages campaigned for the preservation and restoration of the tower, so you can still enjoy the magnificent view from the tower today.

The tower and the kiosk are open daily in summer and the rest of the year from 9 am to 5 pm on the weekend.

The lookout tower on the Plattenberg is the youngest of the four lookout towers in the Czech part of the central Ore Mountains. Its establishment was credited to the Horni Blatna Winter Sports Club, which wanted to build a tourist and ski center near the town. Construction began in 1912 based on the plans of Cheb architect Karl Matusch. Even before the start of the winter season, the Berghotel with restaurant and viewing tower was officially opened on July 5 of the following year. The observation tower was named Zita-Aussicht in honor of Archduchess and future last Austrian Empress Zita Maria delle Grazie of Bourbon-Parma. The mountain hotel was very popular at the time and was expanded in 1927.
