Facts and practical information

The Sörházdombi lookout tower is a lookout tower built on the 300 m high Sörház hill, one of the highest points of the Lövérek in Sopron, overlooking the city. Easily accessible by a pleasant walk from the Lövér roundabout or the Sörházdombi road, it offers a great view of the whole town and the wooded slopes of the Sopron Hills. Exact location.

A gloriette briefly stood on the site of the lookout at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1939 a triangulation point was marked out, the tower of which was used as a lookout by tourists. After the Second World War, the tower was demolished and replaced by a lookout tower designed by Antal Rosenstingl in 1968. In 2006, the lookout tower was rebuilt with glued and bolted timber framework by the Sopron Town Planning Association, based on plans by Péter Szabó and his colleagues, and by the Tanulmányi Forestry and Zoltán Mile.
