Wooden lookout on Hnědý vrch offers wide panoramic views of the Krkonoše ridgeline, Sněžka peak and the valley around Pec pod Sněžkou — excellent for sunrise/sunset, winter snow scenes and clear-night astrophotography. Short hike from Pec (parking in town or at nearby ski facilities), free access but expect steep stairs. Best light: golden hour and blue hour; winter brings dramatic contrasts but check trail conditions and wind. Weekday mornings are least crowded.
