The tower stands on the Miloňová hill, specifically positioned to overlook the Léskové valley.
The structure is built primarily from larch wood, chosen for its durability in high-altitude weather conditions.
The height of 24 meters was specifically chosen to clear the surrounding forest canopy, which would otherwise obstruct the view.
The project was initiated by local mountain municipalities to expand the network of regional viewpoints.
Rozhledna Miloňová is a 24-meter-tall wooden observation tower located at an elevation of 846 meters in the Beskydy Mountains. The structure consists of a concrete base topped by three floors of larch wood construction. It features a circular observation deck providing panoramic views of the Javorníky and Beskydy ranges, including the Lysá hora and Smrk peaks. The tower was constructed in 2012 as part of the regional effort to promote tourism in the Velké Karlovice valley. The design reflects traditional local architecture using natural materials. Visitors ascend a staircase that wraps around the central supporting pillar. Visibility extends to the Slovak border on clear days. It is situated within the protected landscape area of CHKO Beskydy.
