Pozorovatelna Durch

About

In the hills above Valasske Prikazy in the Zlin region in Czech Republic grew up a lookout Durch designed by architect Zdenek Franek. Durch is a tribute to the view of the landscape. It is meant to stimulate and realize this beauty. It also serves as a sitting for passers-by, place for a snack or a shelter in bad weather. A well with a picture of St. Francis, animal patron and nature conservationist was restored in its vicinity. Architect Zdenek Franek portrayed the observatory as a "minimalist wooden construction with clear details without any significant element. So to be humble, and above all, the outlook through the lookout, which frames the landscape as the most beautiful picture, was created."
