Hiking
From the Suleiman Lookout there is a great panorama of the city of Kőszeg and the mountains!
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.

According to legend, King Suleiman watched the siege and battle here in 1532, which was successfully defended by the citizens of Köszeg. So the defeat was observed. In remembrance, the tower was built in 2012 and offers a beautiful view of the city.
