Timeline
06:52
Walk up to the Károly Lookout Tower. Arrive early to find a quiet spot in the exhibition hall or on the viewing platform. The 23-metre stone tower offers a clear view toward the WSW where the sun will rise.
07:37
Watch the sunrise. The sky brightens as the sun crests the horizon, casting golden light across the Lövérek hills. Stay for the glow as it settles over the landscape.
07:57
Head down to Borostyán for coffee and a warm breakfast. It is the closest option to the tower and opens at 07:00, so it will be ready by the time you finish watching the light change.
Local tip
The walk from the tower to Borostyán is short (9 minutes), but bring a jacket as the hill is exposed before the sun fully warms the air.
