Skalní krčma

Although the promising name of the location suggests the presence of a snack bar, it is unfortunately a mistaken impression. Perhaps a rock cavity, luring to shelter, offers the possibility of shelter from discomfort and in that case for some consumption. The fact that some products are consumed here is proven by the discarded empty bottles and the enchanted wall, revealing the frequent distribution of fires and the associated toasters. Quite easily accessible former quarry at the foot of the front beech hill near Rapotín. Wall quarry estimated width 35 m, height of quarry wall about 15 m. It is a relatively interesting geological locality. The reason for mining here was the occurrence of calcitic erlan rock and impure marble (crystalline limestone). In addition, there are other similar rocks in the quarry as the brecciated calcitic erlan, epidote, amphibole. All this is interspersed with biotic gneiss. The gneiss (exactly two-mica pararula with garnet and sillimanite) actually forms the main massif of the whole Beech Hill. The main reason for mining was about 4m thick layer of impure diopsidic marble. It was mined partially underground mining. Its remnants are two partially buried galleries. The larger of them provides a relatively large underground space, which is used mainly by local excursions as a destination for expeditions. The foothills of Přední Buková Hill probably served as a source of building material, especially for the nearby Rapotín, but it is not far to the Velké Losiny Chateau. Another extinct wall quarry can be discovered about 200 m north on the eastern slope of the hill, where the stone was mined directly under the rocky outcrop, and about 200–300 m we find already overgrown abandoned quarry near the cottage area near the Rapotín swimming pool. Basically, it is enough to follow a forest path that passes above the foot of the Front Beech Hill, above the stream of the Losinky River. Because the Rock Tavern, more precisely Bukový kopec is ranked among interesting geological localities, let us keep the classification, regional division: Bohemian Massif - crystalline complex and pre-Variscian Palaeozoic - Moravian-Silesian region - silesic, stratigraphy: Devonian. The origin of geological phenomena (genesis) is studied: metamorphic (regional metamorphosis).

I do not recommend, it's not much. I must say that I find it dangerous. Danger of rock release.

The first stop on the way to the lookout tower

Stop on the way to the Bukovka lookout tower. There is a fireplace and benches.

An interesting natural formation. It is said that paws once hid here.

It is a rock wall with a smaller opening (former quarry for unclean marble), in which there are 2 benches and garbage. Nearby you will find a fireplace with benches. There is not much to see for ordinary people. A forest path leads here.

It is a beautiful natural corner under the rock, suitable for families with children, there is a fireplace with seating, a grill available. There is a river nearby, so you don't need to take water with you to put out the fire. However, prepare for a quite busy "traffic" of tourists. So you won't have peace and privacy.
