Observation towers and sight-seeing locations
A lookout tower built on the steep slope over the river Svitava in 1887 was named after Alexander Suchanek, who has merit in its foundation. The building lost its original romantic features during the Second World War, when it was razed almost to the ground for strategic reasons. Its redemption was the position favourable for retranslation of television signal - torso of the tower was rebuilt to a transmitter with a gallery open to public in 1963. Unfortunately, the lookout tower is rather low and its vista is limited to surrounding woods of Drahanská vrchovina.
A telecommunication tower with an observation gallery in the height of 24 meters
The restored square stone tower (18 meters high) with a sheltered gallery is situated near the village Rudka, known for its artificial Cave of Blanik Knights. The idea to build a lookout tower near Rudka came from F. Burian, the mayor of Kunštát, in the early 1930s and when it was put into service in 1931, it was befitting to name it after him. It was built during the economic crisis and the construction process helped overcome the misery of the local unemployed for a time. The gallery provides a view of forests of Českomoravská vrchovina and Drahanská vrchovina and sometimes reputedly even Praděd in Hrubý Jeseník.
Construction of this wooden lookout tower over Olešnice was completed in 2004. It is 9 metres tall and has two observation galleries.
The wooden observation tower opened to the public in August 2005 is located on the Malý Chlum elevation. Two floors of the observation tower are accessible by means of the installed ladder. The upper platform provides a beautiful view of the nearby villages, which can be identified using maps located on all four sides of the platform.

The view over Moravský Kras opens before you towards Drahanská Vrchovina with its highest peak, Skalky, and also on to Českomoravská Vrchovina, Boskovice brázda, and in the event of good visibility, the even more distant Pálava.
