lookout tower Bučina — Attraction in okres Karlovy Vary

Vystoupat poměrně příkrý svah po červeně značené turistické trase a pak stanout na vrcholu rozhledny byl opravdu úžasný zážitek. Kdyby tu nefoukal tak studený vítr, byl bych na ochozu strávil daleko víc času. Ten pohled na Krušné a Doupovské hory, rozdělené oheraským tektonickým zlomem, je nezapomenutelný. Kamennou rozhlednu nechal vystavět v době kolem roku 1880 tehdejší majitel zdejších lázní Heinrich Mattoni na vrchu Bučina, aby se stala součástí lázeňského parku. Stavba se (zcela pochopitelně) stala oblíbeným cílem vycházek lázeňských hostů. Po 2. světové válce, kdy sloužila jako vyhlídková věž, přestala být udržována a postupně chátrala. Na konci 20. století se o objektu mluvilo jako o nejzchátralejší rozhledně v České republice. V letech 2002 - 2003 naštěstí proběhla částečná rekonstrukce. Kamenná válcová rozhledna dosahuje celkové výšky 13 m. Na zastřešený vyhlídkový ochoz, ve výšce 10 m vede schodiště s 62 kamennými stupni.

Climbing a relatively steep slope along the red-marked hiking trail and then standing on top of the lookout tower was a truly amazing experience. If there wasn't such a cold wind, I would have spent much more time on the gallery. The view of the Ore Mountains and the Doupov Mountains, divided by the Oherský tectonic fault, is unforgettable. The stone lookout tower was built around 1880 by former owner of the local spa Heinrich Mattoni on Bučina Hill to become part of the spa park. The building (of course) immediately became a popular destination for spa guests' walks. After World War II, when it served as an observation tower, it ceased to be maintained and gradually deteriorated. At the end of the 20th century the building was referred to as the most dilapidated lookout tower in the Czech Republic. Fortunately, a partial reconstruction took place between 2002 and 2003. The stone cylindrical lookout tower reaches a total height of 13 m. There is a staircase with 62 stone steps leading to the roofed observation gallery at a...

It's a public tower, well maintained. Google lets you drive to the tower but don't do that it's not safe for a normal car! Local farmers help us, they were really friendly, you should park your car just after the cross of people and cow then walk the rest wat google map is telling you. The farmers know also where it is and where it's safe to drive with a normal car. Please respect there guidings as there's a lot of cow around there. Really nice view and...

Very picturesque view of the Ohře river valley, completed with the Ore mountains as backdrop. Definitely worth visiting if you're anywhere near Spa Kyselka. The lookout tower itself has rounded staircase with 60 steps inside and the solid roof on the outside, so you can enjoy the view even in bad weather. The viewing platform might be little crammy though, 5 person tops. Open 24/7, with a picnic...
