Bohdanka, Observation tower in Bohdaneč, Czech Republic.

Bohdanka is a wooden observation tower in Bohdaneč that rises 52 meters high into the sky. A viewing platform at 42 meters height is accessed by climbing 216 steps through the interior of the structure.

Bohdanka was built within the project "Rozhlédni se okolo Bohdanče", designed jointly by ČVUT Prague and VUT Brno and erected by PSK a.s. Zlín between autumn 2010 and April 2011. Of the 18.3 million crowns cost, the municipality of Bohdaneč paid 1.3 million and the rest came from a Central Bohemian Region ROP grant. It opened on 14 May 2011 and has been closed since 2022 because of its emergency condition.

The tower's name, Bohdanka, is a diminutive of the nearby village Bohdaneč, and it was built under the project title "Rozhlédni se okolo Bohdanče" (Look Around Bohdaneč), which also produced two educational trails. The structure is a joint design of ČVUT Prague and VUT Brno, built by PSK a.s. Zlín, and it opened with a ceremony on 14 May 2011.

By car from the Bohdaneč–Třebětín road, turn off at the pond toward Řeplice, then take the field path at the end of the orchard and walk about 200 m. The nearest railway station is Hodkov, roughly 9 km away. The tower has been closed since 2022 due to its emergency condition.

The tower's 52.2 m height makes it the tallest structure of its kind in both the Czech Republic and Europe, built from wooden round logs joined with metal connectors. It has two platforms: a rest platform at 22.5 m and a viewing platform at 42 m reached by 216 steps. It has been closed since 2022 because of its emergency condition.
