Very romantic place in the vicinity of Marianske Lazne - lookout Hamelika. His appearance it resembles a medieval fortress, from which there was only a part of the wall and a high cylindrical tower.

On places where visible at a glance the whole town has been known for a long time. They found vacationers who studied with indefatigable enthusiasm surrounding hills, covered with forests. One such popular place and it was decided to equip the observation deck. This happened in 1876. To work on the landscaping was invited to a fashionable architect, lives in Marianske Lazne - Friedrich Zikler. He successfully fulfilled the order of city authorities, creating another attraction of the resort, which should certainly be noted by every tourist. The idea to build a viewing platform in the form of a tower at the Ziklera appeared almost immediately. He spent only three summer months in the implementation of this idea. The tower's height is 20 meters, 100 steps lead upstairs. Will overcome their excellent panorama not only at Marianske Lazne, but also in its surroundings, where is the Bohemian Forest, and several mountain peaks in the neighborhood.

From the observation deck at such a strange name? Yes, just 722 meters tall hill on which it was built, called the hill Hamelika.

By viewing platform can be reached from the hotel "Panorama" or the red signs to the park of miniatures Bogemium. It is open to visitors all year round.

Particularly interesting will be an evening visit to the tower, because here looks very original singing fountain in the center of the city, illuminated with bright lights.
