The tower is designed with an exposed steel skeleton to minimize wind resistance at high elevations.
It was built on the site of a former 19th-century wooden tower that had long since decayed.
The viewing platform is located at a height of 30 meters above the ground level.
During clear visibility, the silhouette of the Kunětická hora castle is visible from the top.
The structure acts as a focal point for the 'Vysoká' cycling circuit.
Milíř is a functionalist-style steel lookout tower situated on the hill of the same name in Vysoká nad Labem. The structure stands 38 meters tall, featuring a viewing platform accessible via a staircase that circles the central load-bearing column. From the top, visitors have panoramic views of the Krkonoše and Orlické mountains, as well as the city of Hradec Králové. The base of the tower includes an information center and a snack area. The site is located at an altitude of approximately 280 meters above sea level. Construction of the current tower was completed in 2013 to replace an older wooden structure. It serves as a regional landmark for cyclists and hikers exploring the Elbe lowlands. The surrounding area is maintained by the local municipality of Vysoká nad Labem.

Bring binoculars to identify distant peaks in the Krkonoše range.
Check the wind conditions beforehand, as the open steel design can feel significantly windier at the top than at the base.
Wear sturdy walking shoes if arriving via the local forest paths.
Do not attempt to climb in severe weather or during high-wind warnings as the tower may be restricted for safety.
Open year-round, but may close temporarily during extreme weather events or severe icing.
