Aberg Lookout Tower on Doubská Mountain
Category: Lookout and Observation Towers Region: Karlovy Vary and its surroundings Town: Karlovy Vary
The lookout tower standing on Doubská hora (Doubská Mountain) is the third structure for excursionists built on the site. The first stone structure had been built as early as in 1848.The existing 22-metre high lookout tower with a café, a terrace, and a dance hall was built in modern style in 1905. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, the complex became private property and it was reconstructed into the present-day Aberg Hotel.Thus, the hotel and lookout tower bear the old name of the site on which they are standing.
Situated on the highest point in the area, the lookout tower offers a view of Krušné hory (Ore Mountains) and Doupovské hory (Doupov Mountains), and a part of Slavkovský les (Slavkov Forest), as well as of the castle in Andělská hora (Angel Mountain), or the Diana Tower or Goethe's Lookout above Karlovy Vary.
Aberg Lookout Tower on Doubská Mountain is located approximately 3 kilometres southwest of the centre of Karlovy Vary. You may easily reach it by car or on foot by following the blue-marked tourist path.
