A Szulejmán-kilátóPhoto: Tamás Csaba, Írottkő Natúrparkért Egyesület
After a pleasant walk through the King Valley, we climb up to the Szulejmán Lookout, where we are immediately rewarded with a magnificent panorama. We head towards Calvary Hill, but it’s worth continuously admiring the landscape. Then comes the view of the Trianon Cross (and the new lookout), and our gaze can wander towards Rőtfalva (Rattersdorf) from Pintér Hill.
After Ördögtányér Rock and the Fatalin Beeches, we reach the Óház Lookout. Having enjoyed the stunning nighttime panorama of Kőszeg, we descend through Szabó Hill back into the city, whose lights draw closer and closer. At the end of the hike, we arrive at the finish passing through the shining main street and beautiful, illuminated squares.
