    Misi rétesháza

    Pick up a slice of rétes (strudel) from Misi rétesháza. It is open until 18:00, which fits perfectly before the evening rush.

  2. 15:18

    Református templom

    Walk from the patisserie to the Református templom. Admire the Gothic tower and the baroque interior while the afternoon light fades.

  3. 15:33

    Vár-hegyi kilátó

    Walk 55 minutes northwest up to Vár-hegyi kilátó. This is a steady climb that gives you time to digest and prepare for the view.

  4. 16:18

    Vár-hegyi kilátó

    Stand at the viewpoint and watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light from 15:27 will have already bathed the landscape, but the final descent of the sun marks the peak moment.

  5. 16:48

    Várhegy Restaurant

    Walk 4 minutes down to Várhegy Restaurant. Order the buffet or a la carte meal to warm up after the cool evening air on the hill.

Local tip
