Hiking
From the city center, this is the most easily accessible lookout point (comfortable 15-20 minute walk).
According to local legend, during the Turkish campaign, Sultan Suleiman I watched the siege of Kőszeg Castle from this hill (now called the Sultan's Roof), trusting in its rapid success. However, Captain Miklós Jurisics with his relatively small number of defenders repulsed the army marching against Vienna, besieging Kőszeg for several weeks.
