EGU Brno Facility

Near the urban part Studnice, there is at 49°36′31.40″N 16°05′2.500″E a testing facility of EGU Brno, which has three towers. The central tower of this facility, which is equipped with a lot of antennas looks very funny and is nicknamed Gyro Gearloose Tower after the famous fictional inventor Gyro Gearloose, who has a similar structure in his garden.
