Rokytnice nad Jizerou has new guards today. The concept of the project was born from the original intention of the village to build a classic lookout tower on the top of the hill Stráž, or Strážník in folklore. The morphology of the hill proved to be unsuitable for the construction of a lookout tower, so we decided on the concept of several stops on the rocks that line the top of the hill. We were inspired by the figures from the coat of arms of the town Rokytnice for the light structures made of wood and steel. The town is watched over on the rocks of Strážník by four patrons, symbolizing the four villages that in ancient times joined to form the town Rokytnice - the Fox, the Bear, the Sheep and the Miner - The Guard Patrol.

It is a 550-metre long trail starting at the so-called Strážník Rock. The trail connects five distinctive lookout objects whose form is derived from the symbols used in the town's coat of arms: the Fox, the Bear, the Sheep and the Miner. A complementary viewpoint, the Footbridge, is proposed for the Fox viewpoint. In spite of the same structural and material design, the individual viewpoints have their own distinctive shape and character. All structures are steel, sheathed with wide hardwood planks. The railings are made of steel profiles and filled with steel mesh. The Fox - 13 m long recumbent structure. The Footbridge - 6 m long and 1.2 m wide platform. The Bear - 3.5 m high viewing platform. The Sheep - 2.5 m high crumb. The Miner - a 7.5 m high structure composed of steps.
