Walk 10 minutes east to the Observation Tower on Old Hill. The view is open and clear. Arrive just in time to see the golden light hit the landscape as the sun begins its final descent toward the WSW.
16:29
Stay at the tower for the sunset. The sun sets at 16:29. This is the peak of the experience. The light will fade quickly, so enjoy the moment while it lasts.

Walk back down to the Deák Well area as it gets dark. The immediate surroundings offer a calm place to pause after the hike. Check local listings for dinner options nearby, as there are no specific food spots listed in this immediate zone.
Local tip
The walk from the well to the tower is short but steep. Wear sturdy shoes. There is no public transport listed between these points; plan your walk.
