The wooden observation tower in the shape of a truncated cone from 2013 is 28 meters high. For magical views of the Drahanská vrchovina, the Hané region or the Nízký Jeseník, you need to climb 158 steps to the observation platform at a height of 25 meters. It was closed in February 2017 for technical reasons, but was reopened in June 2018. Entrance: inaccessible Date of completion: 2013 Altitude: 442 m

In the museum you can see the largest collection of historical carriages and lanterns in Central Europe. You will see, for example, a large funeral carriage, and more than 50 other carriages and sleighs or a restoration workshop. The place is ideal for families with children, schools or kindergartens because the fire museum is located in the neighboring building.

When Count Ervín Silva Tarouca was ennobling his family chateau in Čechá pod Kosířem in the 1840s, he also had the park renovated in the then popular style - romanticism. The neo-Gothic octagonal lookout tower, 15 meters high, also fits into its spirit. The lookout tower is accessible as part of a guided tour of the park. Admission: paid Date of foundation: 1843 Height: 15 m Altitude: 278 m

The first mention of the castle dates back to the 14th century. The castle is associated with the Portuguese Silva Tarouca family and their frequent guest, the painter Josef Mánes, whose numerous works are part of the castle exhibition. In 2016, the castle was opened to the public after partial reconstruction. In addition to a tour of the castle interiors, three other routes are offered: the Zdeněk and Jan Svěrák Film Museum, a guided tour of the English park including a climb to the so-called Red Tower and an exhibition of historical bicycles. This romantic environment also attracts weddings. You can arrange an unforgettable wedding ceremony here by appointment.

The large entrance portal can be seen from the Sutý žleb valley, on the right side of which the cave is located. Behind the entrance area there is a large space, which continues through two corridors. Today, both corridors end in an avalanche of rubble. Important archaeological finds in the front part of the cave prove that this place was inhabited by prehistoric man.

Punkva Cave: many stalactites in the most wondrous shapes, plus a boat trip on an underground river - fascinating. Be sure to book tickets in advance in summer. Otherwise you run the risk of not getting in.

The entrance of the horse cave looks small, but down below a rather large hall opens up (maybe 12...15m high?). Attention, the wet clay is slippery ...
