The tower is built on the site of a former telecommunications mast, utilizing its concrete foundation.
The wooden exterior cladding is designed to help the structure blend into the surrounding forest landscape.
The project was initiated by the Municipality of Dolní Moravice to enhance the region's hiking infrastructure.
The elevation of the tower base is one of the highest points in the immediate vicinity, providing an unobstructed field of vision.
The construction uses a 'self-supporting' timber frame design to ensure stability against high-altitude winds.
The Nová Ves Lookout Tower is a 30-meter high wooden structure situated at an elevation of 841 meters above sea level near the village of Dolní Moravice. The tower features a construction combining a concrete base with a timber-clad body and a steel viewing platform. It serves as a prominent vantage point in the Hrubý Jeseník mountain range. Visitors access the viewing gallery via a staircase consisting of 115 steps. The tower provides 360-degree panoramic views covering the Jeseníky peaks, the Rýmařov region, and on clear days, the Beskydy mountains. The structure was built in 2014 to support local tourism and regional development. It is located near the peak of the mountain ridge, allowing for direct observation of the surrounding landscape. The site is freely accessible to the public.

Wear sturdy hiking boots as the access path can be muddy after rainfall.
Carry windproof clothing, as the open viewing platform is exposed to strong gusts.
Do not attempt to climb the tower during thunderstorms or high wind warnings due to the exposed metal structure.
Open year-round, but access may be restricted during severe winter conditions due to ice accumulation.
