Čubův kopec observation tower

Čubův kopec observation tower, Wooden observation tower in Francova Lhota, Czech Republic.

Čubův kopec observation tower is a wooden structure standing at roughly 720 meters in elevation with a tapered pyramidal form that narrows as it rises. The viewing platform at the top reveals multiple mountain ranges and valleys across the local landscape.

A wooden lookout tower was built on the summit in 1991 and was freely accessible. Because of its poor technical condition it was replaced in 2004 by a new tower of the same type, two metres taller. The summit lies on the watershed between the Morava and Váh basins.

The summit stone carries the village coat of arms and a metal plate describing the view, marking the second stop of the Javorníky-západ educational trail. A summit book is kept in the tower's top floor, and the Hornolidečská magistrála mountain-bike route also passes the hill.

The tower is reached only on foot: a blue-marked trail runs from Francova Lhota to Makyta, and the summit is 1.5 km beyond the Střelenský vrch junction (616 m), a climb of 235 m. From Střelná railway stop a red trail leads 2 km to that junction, then blue continues; from Kobzova lípa (525 m) above Francova Lhota it is 2 km with a 195 m climb.

The summit marks the watershed between the Morava (Bečva) and Váh river basins, both draining to the Danube. A stone with a coat of arms and a metal plate describing the views and dedicating the site to the village stands at the top, the second stop of the Javorníky-západ educational trail.
