Kožich, Observation tower in Libákovice, Czech Republic.

Kožich is an observation tower in Libákovice that rises above the surrounding countryside. The structure provides views across the Bohemian landscape and rolling hills from its elevated vantage point.

A survey point with a roughly 4-metre wooden pyramid stood on the Kožich summit from 1865; it vanished and was replaced in 1934 by a more complex wooden pyramid with two platforms and a black-and-white striped spire. After 1968 the army used the area around the summit to site launch ramps. The present telecommunications tower, which carries the viewing platform, was built in 2007 about 60 metres northeast of the summit, and the platform 24 metres up opened in 2008.

The name Kožich means "fur coat" in Czech, likely referring to the wooded hill. The viewing platform, 24 metres up, was fitted with panoramic photographs labelling the visible landmarks in 2012. A marked circular nature trail, Čertovo břemeno, leads past the tower from Letiny.

The tower stands about 60 m northeast of the Kožich summit (584 m), 900 m northeast of Řenče's Libákovice part. A path leads from Libákovice, passable by car with care; the Čertovo břemeno educational loop from Letiny follows the same route. The 24 m platform is reached by a central steel spiral staircase.

The viewing platform stands 24 metres up a lattice tower built in 2007 for a mobile operator; the tower itself sits about 60 metres northeast of the actual 584 m summit. On the summit, a survey point set up in 1934 still survives, and after 1968 the army used the slopes around it for launching ramps.
