Landscape

At the southern edge of Kosice, the Bystřice flows through an old riverbed; 200 m further downstream, a new riverbed runs.

The Rozhledna Kosice is located at the end of a relatively large private but publicly accessible park with two ponds. The wooden Rozhledna Kosice was built in 2017 on a hill created by dredging the local ponds.
