Velký Javorník: one of the Czech Republic's many awesome view towers. This one is a steep walk up into the Veřovice hills in Wallachia.
I went from Frenštát pod Radhoštem
up the green trail to the tower, then along the red ridge trail until I cut down the steep yellow path to Mořkov to catch my train, about a 15-17km trip (depending on if you explore
Frenštát's nature trail first, as I did). Be prepared for about 700 meters of elevation gain overall. The ridge trail goes up and down a bit. Views are really nice.
The tower itself is open year round and free, and there's a pub there too for refreshment. Up top, 3-D wooden signs point out different mountains in view. From here you can see both Poland and Slovakia on a clear day.
