Děd, Mountain summit in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic

Děd is a wooded ridge west of Beroun, built of greywacke slate with small iron-ore deposits. Near the top stands a 12-metre stone lookout tower from 1893, reached by 23 stone steps and 23 iron steps; a chapel of the Sorrowful Virgin Mary from the 18th century lies lower on the eastern slope by a spring.

In 1891 the Club of Czech Tourists chose Děd's summit as the end of a marked trail from Beroun and laid the foundation stone on 1 May 1893. Builder Duda erected the 12 m tower from 25,000 white Königshof bricks in under five months, opening it on 17 September 1893 at a cost of 3,000 gulden. The tower was nationalised in 1954 and taken over by the town of Beroun in 2010.

The name Děd means "grandfather" or "old man" in Czech. The stone lookout tower on the summit, built in 1893, was the first observation tower erected by the Klub českých turistů, founded only five years earlier; a memorial plaque on the tower recalls this.

The summit is accessible on foot via hiking trails that start from nearby towns and are well marked. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing since the peak is accessible throughout the year.

The 12-metre stone tower on the summit, built in 1893, was the first observation tower erected by the Klub českých turistů, founded only five years earlier. It cost 3,000 gulden, financed by loans, and was raised from 25,000 white bricks from Králův Dvůr by the builder Duda.
