Dyleň is a mountain in the Bohemian Forest near Mariánské Lázně, which was once a strategic point during the Cold War and featured a listening tower. Today, the tower serves as a television and radio transmitter with extensive signal coverage. The mountain is also known for the legend that Napoleon declared it the center of Europe, as commemorated by a stone pillar near the summit. However, the area remains fenced with barbed wire and is not accessible to the public.

On foggy days, the tower looks almost like a lost place.
You can walk along the fence almost around the entire area. On the service road right by the main gate, you'll find a covered hut for rest and snacks.
