<translation>Bořanovice Lookout</translation>
The lookout tower Bořanovice represents a ship anchored at the wooded shore of the "Czech Sea" - Polabí. A staircase from the lower deck rises to the main terrace, which forms a comfortable wooden deck with seating. The following technical steel deck serves as the captain's bridge, and the continuing spiral staircase represents the mast with an observation basket. A rotating flag of the municipality at the top of the mast indicates the direction of the wind.
The structure combines two basic materials - hot-dip galvanized steel and natural larch wood. The steel comprises all load-bearing structures, staircases, platforms, and railings. The main terrace is contrastively treated as wooden. The floor - deck, table, benches, and railing infill are made of larch boards. The wood is only for aesthetic purposes.
The building is not placed at the top of the hill but on the slope just below the terrain edge at the entrance to Bořanovický háj, and it does not have ambitions for a circular panorama. The field of view spans from the north to the southeast (approximately 150°) with the center focused on the Polabí lowland. In the foreground, Bořanovice stretches, behind which the neighboring Líbeznice with the Church of St. Martin dominates. From the flat Polabí, mainly industrial buildings protrude, such as a silo in Měšice or chimneys in Neratovice. An interesting view is the city of Mělník with the silhouette of the castle and church. From the visible parts of Prague 8 and 9, we cannot miss the chimneys of the Třeboradice heating plant and the former sugar factory in Čakovice. Distinctive hills can be seen in the Kokořínsko area - Ronov, Vlhošť, Velký Beškovský vrch, Vrátenská hora, and of course Bezděz. With good visibility, it is possible to see Ještěd and even the Krkonošes located 100 km away.
The lookout tower Bořanovice was realized with funds from the state budget of the Czech Republic from the program of the Ministry for Regional Development. Great thanks for the success belong to all involved, the municipality of Bořanovice, its mayor, councilors, and citizens.
