Háj[1][2] is an observation tower on the top of Háj hill in Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic, about 3 kilometres northwest from Šumperk. Its height is 29 meters and it has one viewing platform. Foot tower altitude is 631 meters above sea level.[3]

History

The current observation tower replaced the original Štefánik's Observation Tower which was erected in 1934 and burned down after a lightning strike in 1953. The new structure was built 43 years later, in 1996.[4]

Investors were the municipalities of Šumperk, Bludov, Ruda nad Moravou, the now defunct Šumperk District and telephone operators who use the tower as a transmitter.
