The wooden observation tower in the shape of a truncated cone from 2013 is 28 meters high.

In the museum you can see the largest collection of historical carriages and lanterns in Central Europe.

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.

This is a hidden cave of a smaller type. You can find it under the ruins of Holštejn Castle, north of Ostrov u Macochy. In the Middle Ages, the cave served as a famine chamber of the nearby castle. One of the chimneys in the ceiling of the cave, which is now covered with rubble from the surface, used to descend the condemned. At the entrance to the cave you will find the most difficult climbing route in the Czech Republic. A red tourist sign will take you directly to the rock. It is also called Lidomorna.

Climbing wall with commemorative plaques for climber friends.
