Sights
Sudoměřice coal tipper

A technical monument is the Sudoměřice coal tipper. The tipper was used to transfer lignite to ships on the Baťa Canal, which was brought by rail from a nearby mine. It dates from 1939. Today it serves as a lookout tower, and in its interior there is an exhibition about its function.[2]
