Rock Tavern - Under the Lookout Tower - Bukovka lookout tower - Forest Balneo
At the very top of Bukové hills, at an altitude of 625 m above sea level, stands the Bukovka lookout tower. After climbing 111 steps, you will reach the viewing platform, which is located 18 meters above the ground. From the lookout tower there is a wonderful view of the Desná Valley, the Jeseníky ridge, the Rychlebská mountains and the Králické Sněžník massif. On the ground floor of the observation tower, there is a cozy shelter for tourists, which can be used to rest or hide from bad weather.
