Burianova rozhledna, Stone observation tower in Kunštát, Czech Republic.
Burianova rozhledna is a prism-shaped stone tower 18 metres tall on Milenka hill at 580 metres above sea level, above the village of Rudka. It has a glazed observation deck and an open gallery around it.
The tower was commissioned in 1928 by František Burian, the town mayor at that time, with the goal of creating a lasting landmark. It was built as a way to help people appreciate and access the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The tower is also called Milenka after the hill (580 m) on which it stands above Rudka, next to the forest park with the Blanických rytířů cave. František Burian, mayor of Kunštát, had it built in 1928 and it bears his name.
