Maják, Observation tower in Přítluky, Czech Republic.

Maják is a 27.6-metre observation tower on Přítlucká hora (293 m) north of Přítluky. Its viewing platform sits at 21 m and is reached by 105 steps. Built in 2012 to a design by Antonín Olšina, it has a slender frame; the original wooden supports were replaced with steel in 2025.

The tower was a joint project of Přítluky, Rakvice and Zaječí from 2007. Built to Antonín Olšina's design between March and May 2012 for 3.3 million CZK with EU funding, it opened on 5 July 2012. In 2024 damaged wooden supports forced a closure; the structures were replaced with steel and it reopened on 1 September 2025.

The name Maják means "lighthouse" in Czech, a reference to the tower's function as a landmark above the Milovická pahorkatina hills. The tower is a joint project of the villages of Přítluky, Rakvice and Zaječí, agreed in 2007 and opened on 5 July 2012.

The best approach is via marked hiking trails from Přítluky village, where parking is available near the tower's base. The climb is straightforward and the viewing platform is easily reached by most visitors.

The tower's name, Maják, means "lighthouse" in Czech, though it stands far from any sea on Přítlucká hora. Its 105-step staircase leads to a platform 21 metres up, and in 2024 the wooden support columns were so badly damaged that the tower had to close until steel replacements were fitted in summer 2025.
