Dawn at the Roman Tower

Be at the tower before the sun breaks. The Roman watchtower is best seen in the first light, when the shadows of the reconstructed walls define the ancient geometry against the waking river.

    Burgus Solva 24, római őrtorony

    Walk to the Burgus Solva 24. The Roman watchtower’s square base and thick walls are quiet in the early morning. Arrive with enough time to find a spot where the Duna is visible from the tower’s entrance side.

    Burgus Solva 24, római őrtorony

    Watch the sunrise. The sun rises toward the WSW. At 07:28 the light hits the site, casting long shadows that reveal the structure’s 9x9 meter footprint and 1.05 meter thick walls.

    Friss-Pékség

    Walk to Friss-Pékség for breakfast. The bakery opens at 05:00, so it is ready when you leave the tower. Grab fresh pastries or bread to eat while the morning light stays bright.

Local tip

The tower is an archaeological site with reconstructed walls. The entrance faces the Duna, so position yourself to catch the first light on the river-facing side.
