The meteorological station at Milešovka sits atop the distinctive peak of the same name in the Czech Republic, operated as a working atmospheric research site rather than a visitor attraction.
About the station
The station is run by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (Ústav fyziky atmosféry AV ČR), which maintains meteorological instruments at the site for ongoing weather and climate observation.
Location & getting there
Milešovka rises prominently over the surrounding countryside of the Czech Republic, making the summit station a well-known local landmark as well as a working research post. Visitors interested in current access or tours should check the operator's own site.
