Timeline
15:18
Grab a coffee and a pastry at Diána to settle in before the climb. It is open from 08:00 to 21:00, so it is ready for you well before the evening rush.
15:53
Walk 21 minutes from the start area up to the Károly Lookout Tower. Arrive with enough time to climb the 23-meter stone tower and find your spot for the view. The exhibition inside adds context to the landscape you are about to see.
16:28
Watch the sun sink toward the WSW. The golden light fades quickly after 16:28, leaving the Sopron hills in twilight. Stay for the cool evening air and the quiet of the tower top.
16:53
Head down to Borago for dinner. It is a 14-minute walk from the tower. Open from 07:00 to 22:00, it is the perfect spot to warm up with a local meal after the chill of the sunset.
Local tip
The walk from the tower to Borago is short but involves going downhill. Wear sturdy shoes for the ascent to the tower.
