Next to Szekszárd, at one of the highest points in the area, stands the lookout tower built in 2015. The lookout stands on one of the highest points in the northern part of the Szekszárd hills, on a hill 280 meters high. The wooden building, 20 meters high (the observation deck is at 15 meters), offers a full panoramic view. We can see the vineyards of Szekszárd, the hill climbing the hill of the city, the forest of Gemenc, and in the opposite direction the endless hills of South Transdanubia, the Tolnai Hill and the settlements of the South Mezőföld. To the south, in the background, rises the entire ridge of the two-part Mecsek, the lower, more hilly western part and the more prestigious eastern part.
The name of the lookout can be linked to the medieval village of Bat, which stood near Kakasd but was depopulated after the Turkish expedition. The origin of the word is interesting, as "báta" means a puddle and puddle in Serbian, while in Turkish it means a wetland. The term refers to one of the defining elements of the natural environment: in a flat or poorly articulated landscape below the hills, the flowing waters often accumulated in swamps. Even today we find e.g. On behalf of Bátaszék.
In addition to the lookout tower in the immediate vicinity of the South Transdanubia Blue Tour, Mária út and the Hungarian Pilgrimage Route, you will also find a rain stop and a picnic area. The branching off the hiking trail is marked by a sandstone cross erected in 1887, i.e. the Bati Cross.
