Žalý Mountain Hut and Lookout Tower

Highlight • Mountain Hut

From the tower there is a magnificent view (in good weather) on the entire ridge of the Giant Mountains: Kotel, Schneekoppe, Schwarzenberg, etc. for 30 crowns (adults). Easy hike on very well-paved forest roads (wide split) and short section leads on a little-used road.

Žalý Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Zaly lookout tower is the only stone lookout tower in the Giant Mountains. Count Jan Harrach had the Zaly lookout tower built in 1892. From the observation tower, which is accessible even in bad weather, there is a beautiful panoramic view not only of the Giant Mountains, but also of the wide area.
