The Old House Lookout Tower is located on the site of the 13th century Upper Castle, on the roof of the Old House (609 m), built in 1996.
It is a popular tourist destination. The easiest way to reach the car park from the Treasure Rest is a short forest walk (20-30 minutes)

Here is a short video on how I can look at the contemporary Upper Castle (Óvár / Altes Haus):

Óház-tető: An observation tower was built on this site as early as the 19th century, but collapsed in 1917. The current tower was built in 1996.
