Jihlava - Thanks to European funding, two more lookout towers will be added in the Vysočina region. One will be on Fajtlův kopci near Velké Meziříčí, and the other will be built by the city of Třebíč on Pekelný kopec. Both projects are among those for which the Southeast Regional Council approved funding today. According to data on the website, the successful applicants include Nové Město na Moravě, which plans a network of recreational trails for mountain biking, known as singletrack. An interpretation center will be established at the Kinský Castle in Žďár nad Sázavou. The Regional Operational Program Southeast funds projects from the Vysočina and neighboring South Moravian regions. Today, a total of 56 projects amounting to 973 million CZK were approved. Applicants from Vysočina were successful with 20 projects totaling more than 422 million CZK, related to tourism and the development of urban and rural settlements. This information was provided to ČTK by the spokesperson of the regional council office, Kateřina Dobešová. The construction of a lookout tower approximately 30 meters high on Fajtlův kopci near Velké Meziříčí has been prepared for several years by the local ski club. It will receive over five million CZK from the union. The Třebíč City Hall has nearly ten million CZK pledged for the lookout tower. With the support of the union, the lookout tower completed last year on Mount Mařenka in Třebíč was also built. The city hall in Nové Město na Moravě will build a network of recreational trails for mountain biking thanks to a thirteen million CZK grant. They will be located in the forest near the Vysočina Arena sports arena. Nové Město is not only a well-known ski resort but also hosts significant mountain biking competitions. "We would like to build public trails on top of that," said the mayor of Nové Město, Michal Šmarda, to reporters earlier this month. Conditions for tourism will significantly improve in Žďár nad Sázavou. The building of the former brewery at the Kinský Castle will be reconstructed, featuring a modern visitor center focused on Baroque art. According to data on the website, the union could contribute over 80 million CZK to this project. The Žďár city hall will build a large recreational area with sports facilities near the Pilská water reservoir, expected to cost over 20 million CZK. The city will also receive funding for a complete renovation of the square. In the regional capital Jihlava, a family park Robinson will be added, which is expected to include a toboggan, a maze, trampolines, and interactive games. The grant should amount to around 30 million CZK. The project is being prepared by a private investor.
