Rozhledna Svobody (Liberty Observation Tower), named Hýlačka after the hilltop whose height is 525 metres above sea level, took its shape after a Hussite tower above Větrovy hamlet and was designed by professor and doctor Theodor Petřík. On January 1, 2012, a wildfire broke out and the entire building was destroyed. The new observation tower has a lookout platform that is 25m high (circular lookout). You have to climb 136 stairs to get to the lookout. The full height of the tower is 35.6m.
