Rozhledna Velká Buková

Rozhledna Velká Buková, Observation tower in Velká Buková, Czech Republic

Rozhledna Velká Buková is a 14.2 m tower on a triangular plan at the southwestern edge of Velká Buková in the Plasy Hills. Above a stone base holding a souvenir shop, toilets and bicycle storage rises a larch-wood structure, with 74 steps climbing alternately along the outer and inner walls to a platform at 13.5 m.

The tower was designed by architect Karel Zuska, chosen in 2006 after consultations with the Křivoklátsko Protected Landscape Area administration. Building took place in 2008–2009 by ESTA Kladno s.r.o., funded partly by an EU grant through the Central Bohemia Regional Operational Programme, and it opened on 28 September 2009.

The tower's triangular plan and alternating outdoor-indoor staircase, designed by architect Karel Zuska, are what locals point out to first-time visitors. The opening on 28 September 2009 was celebrated by the village, and the lookout remains a destination for walks from Křivoklát and Rakovník along the red-marked trail.

By car, a turn-off from the Pavlíkov–Roztoky road about 300 m from the junction to Velká Buková leads directly to a car park at the tower. The red hiking trail from Křivoklát to Rakovník was rerouted past the tower; the nearest railway station is Křivoklát. The viewing platform is reached by 74 steps.

The staircase alternates between the outer and inner perimeter walls, so climbers pass from open air to enclosed space on the way up. The tower stands on a stone base housing a souvenir shop, toilets and bicycle storage, with the 74 steps leading to a platform at 13.5 m.
