The tower was financed primarily through a public collection organized by the village of Hudlice.
The structure is built on the site of a former 19th-century iron ore mining area.
It is specifically designed to allow 360-degree visibility over the surrounding wooded terrain.
The larch wood components were treated to withstand long-term exposure to the region's specific weather conditions.
The base of the tower is anchored to a concrete foundation embedded directly into the Krušná hora bedrock.
Rozhledna Máminka is a 33-meter tall observation tower situated on the Krušná hora hill at an elevation of 609 meters. Constructed in 2015, the tower features a primary structure made of larch wood reinforced with steel elements. Visitors must climb 96 steps to reach the observation deck. The design incorporates three distinct viewing platforms at different heights. It offers panoramic views of the Křivoklátsko region and the Brdy mountain range.
