21 meters high stone tower was built in 1913 owing to the initiative of the Society for winter sports from Horní Blatná. The lookout tower belonged to a hotel and along with it was supposed to support the development of tourism in this part of the Ore Mountains. Hotel with the tower served its purpose until the 40s, when a military area was created here. Due to the state of decay, the hotel had to be destroyed a few years later. The lookout tower was preserved because of the care of the Czech Union for Nature Conservation (CSOP) members.
