Originally, a wooden pavilion stood on this site; the 5 m high concrete lookout tower built here in the 1930s offers breathtaking views of the Vltava River and the entire town of Týn nad Vltavou. You can reach the Semenec observation tower from the center of town on Tyršova St. Turn left at the Sokol gym and continue down Alej Míru on the red hiking trail to the tower 1.5 km.
