LOOKOUT TOWER
NEAR BUDAPEST, HUNGARY
Small country, small mountains. But in
the surroundings of Budapest this is the highest peak, it is called
„Nagy-Kopasz” („Big-Bald”). Here, we erected a hiding gazebo: meanwhile you are
approaching the top of the mountain, you don’t see anything – you just
recognize the lookout tower when you already stand front of it. There is nothing here, just the trees, the
birds and the wind. No roads, no electricity, no water, even the mobile phones
are out of order here. The ground level of the tower is made
of reinforced concrete and serves as an entrance and a shelter for hikers, too.
If you go up on the stairs of the gazebo, on the intermediate levels it offers
misterious spaces, full of light and secrets. Here you just get some pieces of
the view between the covering slats of the tower – but you feel that there must
be something up there, so it worth to climb until the top of this strange
building. Meanwhile this climbing you can find banks on every level, where you
can have a rest, you can think, and enjoy the silence of nature. Reaching the
highest level of the tower you have a wonderful panorama all round, as a reward
for your persistence.Except the ground level, the lookout
tower is made of larch, and the structural beams are connected by specially
designed and made steel joints. All the heavy larch elements were lifted by
hand, because there was no opportunity to use machines. Now the gazebo is ready. People and
birds seem to enjoy it.
