Biskupská kupa

A bordering peak Biskupská kupa, 900 meters high, with a lookout tower on the top, dominates this entire part of Moravskoslezský district. The lookout tower is the oldest brick tower in Jeseníky region. It was made of stone in 1898 by a German touristic corporation MSSGV (Zuckmantel section in Zlaté Hory) on the occasion of 50 years ruling of emperor František Josef I. Its height is 18 meters. After the World War II, the tower was closed for public and it served as a broadcasting transmitter. In 1996, a total reconstruction started and in summer of 1998, the tower was re-opened.
