The observation tower is located on the site of a former military communications installation.
It is built on a geological formation known as the Sedmihoří pluton, composed primarily of granite.
The structure functions simultaneously as a transmission tower for cellular networks and a tourist viewpoint.
The High Lookout (Rozhledna Tachov) is a steel observation tower situated on Sedmihoří hill at an elevation of 581 meters. The structure stands 28 meters tall and offers a viewing platform at 18 meters above the ground. It provides panoramic views of the Upper Palatinate Forest, the Bohemian Forest, and the town of Tachov. The tower was constructed as part of a telecommunications project and opened to the public in 2004. Its design features a slender steel mast braced with concrete footings to withstand regional wind conditions. The surrounding landscape is characterized by the forested terrain of the Tachov region.

Bring binoculars to identify distant landmarks in the Bohemian Forest.
Check local weather conditions beforehand, as the viewing platform is fully exposed to wind.
Wear sturdy footwear suitable for forest trails leading to the tower base.
Do not attempt to climb the structure during active thunderstorm warnings due to the steel frame.
