Starting from Jurisics Castle, we can see the Crown Guard bunker, the Calvary stations, then upon reaching the Calvary Church, we can admire the panorama of the town. Soon we can admire the landscape from the brand new lookout tower built next to the Trianon Cross. The Suleiman bastion again reveals the beauty of the town, then the Arboretum and the Bechtold Center also come our way toward the finish.
