128 stairs need to be climbed to see the endless beauties of the landscape. If we are only a few of us we can hear the sound of the porous iron structure. Panorama can be ’’enjoyable’’ in three ways. We can simply look around, or use the telescope to identify more details or with the help of the pictures on the handrail. The latter is worth doing because this way we can discover every peak and element of the landscape- and even can get information about the covered ones.
In the north Selmec-hills with the Szitnya-peak can be seen, turning northwest Börzsöny hill comes into view. We can observe Visegrád hills, Pilis and Naszály in southwest and the rolling hills of Gödöllő in the south. In the east Szanda hill, farther Mátra and Karancs hills are visible.
At lower levels we can get familiar with cultural, historical a geological aspects of neighboring villages.
