Bezruc´ s lookout is situated in the park of Hradec Castle, about 2 km to the south of the White Tower. Follow the blue tourist sign. From lookout is a wonderful view of the castle premises, the Moravice river, Stránka hill, Hanuše hill, parts of Podolí and Branka villages and a rock above Branka, and a wide plain stretching beyond Opava as far as to Poland. It is the place where two branches of Bezruc´s path meet, one leading from the west across Hanuše hill and the village of Žimrovice, the other from the east through the village of Bohucovice, Záviliší valley and Kalvárie hill. In the era of the Lichnowsky lineage the lookout was called Wilhelmshöhe to commemorate the transformation of the Prussian kingdom into the Prussian Empire. The emperor Wilhelm II with his retinue visited the lookout during his short stay at the castle in September 1913.
