 It was called Kramářova chata (Karel Kramář mountain hut) and had a concrete watchtower 28 metres high.After World War I, the rising nationalism within both the Sudeten German Tourist Association and its Czech-speaking rival, Klub českých turistů (Czech hikers club) prompted each group to attempt to outdo one another at each mountain peak, with facilities that accommodated hiker lodgings and watchtowers.This activity seemed to identify the Germans as pioneers of mountain tourism and the Czechs good learners.
