If you look at the map in area Trebic, we can see small village Kramolin, which is of interest high tower mounted on its outskirts. 24, 5-meter tower in the Empire style was built of stone in 1831 on a green hill, the height of which is equal to 491 meters above sea level. It was built for surveyors, but eventually began to be used as a tourist attraction. The funds allocated for the construction of a local resident, who had the title of nobility and was engaged in scientific research, - Earl G. W. Haugvits. Therefore, the tower was built in the park area, which is considered his property. Adjacent to the tower is a hunting lodge, where they often gathered friends of the owner.

On the observation deck on top of it are 105 steps, you will be able to overcome the survey the neighborhood and to make amazing beauty shots. Rises to the top follows a strong oak staircase. At a height of 18 meters is a little room where you can catch your breath and relax a bit. Pay attention to the design of the ceiling of the room. It is decorated with frescoes depicting the zodiacal constellations.

Local historians tell us that the original tower, built by Count Haugvitsem, was much higher than what we see now. But during the movement of the Austrian and Prussian forces during the conflict in 1866 its top floor was damaged, and the Count decided not to finish building the tower, and leave everything as is.

The tower "Babel" from 1968 is under the protection of the Czech state and is considered a significant local landmark.
