Lookout tower Bára

The Bára lookout tower is located in the Pardubice Region, specifically on Čertova skalka in the Chrudim urban forest. This unique wooden lookout tower has a triangular shape and is the work of architect Martin Rajniš and according to his words, this construction is unique not only in Europe, but probably in the whole world.

What can be enjoyed here

• Playground: Next to the refreshment stand is a small forest playground suitable for children aged 2-6 years.
• A walk along the hiking trail to Kočičí hrádek – a miniature of a castle, which will attract especially children.
• Covered fireplace: There is a covered fireplace under the rock where you can roast sausages. In the nearby forest you can collect dry wood.
