Súkenická, Observation tower on Čarták peak in Velké Karlovice, Czech Republic.

Súkenická is an observation tower atop Čarták peak standing about 952 meters above sea level. The structure has a concrete core wrapped in wooden planks, with 137 steps leading to an octagonal viewing platform positioned roughly 26 meters high.

The tower was designed by the Ostrava firm Teplotechna, and construction began in 1997. It was officially opened to the public on 28 June 1998. The city of Rožnov pod Radhoštěm originally leased and maintained it, but after the city withdrew from the lease in 2013, the nearby mountain hotel Súkenická took over its care.

The tower's alternative names, Čarták and Čartak, come from the peak it stands on. Since 2013 the mountain hotel Súkenická, not the town of Rožnov pod Radhoštěm, has taken care of the tower, so the hotel is the place to ask about it.

The tower stands on Čarták peak at 953 metres, about 1 km from the Bílá-Bumbálka/Makov border crossing. Since 2013 the mountain hotel Súkenická has maintained the tower and handled its operation, so ask there about access. The covered octagonal platform is reached by 137 steps.

The tower doubles as a mobile operator's transmitter, and its concrete core is clad in spruce wood. After the town of Rožnov pod Radhoštěm ended its lease in 2013, the nearby mountain hotel Súkenická took over the tower's operation and upkeep.
