Jurkovič's Lookout Tower is a charming wood-and-stone observation tower over 30 metres high, standing on a hill above Rožnov pod Radhoštěm. It was built according to a century-old design by architect Dušan Jurkovič and offers views of the town, the Wallachian Open Air Museum and the Beskids ridges with Radhošť. A pleasant walk and educational trail lead to the tower, making it a popular destination for families and tourists alike. Together with the Rožnov open-air museum, it forms an ideal itinerary for a stay in the heart of Wallachia.
