Avas Lookout Tower

One of the most recognizable buildings of Miskolc is the Lookout Tower at the side of the Avas Hill standing 72 meters high, which was built in 1963.

It was designed by Miklós Hofer and György Vörös. Near its current location there have always been temporary lookout towers made of wood.

The view from the top of the tower gives an unparalleled perspective onto the city. It is worth the effort climbing up the stairs to reach the top.

The tower is open to the public and is free for anyone planning on enjoying panoramic views of Miskolc. It was most recently renovated in 2010 including preservation work, as well as updated safety features. The tower can be reached on foot via stairs starting at the foot of the hill by the Avas Church, passing by the cemetery and historic cellars.
