Kurzova rozhledna, Observation tower in Pec, Czech Republic.

Kurzova rozhledna is a stone lookout tower on the summit of Čerchov (1042 m), the highest peak of the Bohemian Forest. Its 19-metre tower of cyclopean masonry is topped by a glazed wooden viewing cabin reaching about 6 metres higher.

The first wooden lookout, a 17-metre three-storey timber tower, opened on 15 July 1894 after 33 days of construction. It was demolished after a decade for safety reasons, and the stone tower designed by Vratislav Pasovský was consecrated on 23 May 1904 and opened on 16 July 1905, after Dr. Vilém Kurz had died.

The tower is named after Dr. Vilém Kurz, a Prague-based promoter of Czech tourism who co-initiated both the Petřín lookout and this one, and who died before the stone tower opened. A gilded memorial plaque to him is mounted on the structure. A tourist stamp, No. 341, is sold at the tower.

The shortest approach starts at the car park in Capartice, right of the main road toward the Lísková border crossing: about four kilometres on a marked path with 320 metres of ascent. The upper section follows concrete panels laid by the army, a route also used by cyclists. Trhanov station is roughly eight kilometres away.

The tower was confiscated by the German army in 1938 and used as a watchtower; after the war it returned to its purpose, but from 1 April 1950 the SNB set up a training centre here and the army later added a radar hall and a listening tower. Pasovský's hut was demolished.
