Tour description:

This brief but very spectacular tour starts from Sopron railway station. We bike from the inner city to Erzsébet-kert, where we turn left at the corner of the botanical garden and follow Deákkúti road to the forest of the Soproni Mountains. On the paved road, we go higher and higher. At the second rightwards juncture, we choose the road leading to the left and on Erdei road, we reach the road leading to the former Muck lookout tower, where we may have a real urbex experience. We can cycle through the road lined with beech trees and parallel to the path of the former ski track, along the famous Panoráma road, which the tour got its name from. We bike until the junction of the road between Görbehalom and Sopronbánfalva, where we can turn right and return to the railway station at Sopron.

Sights:

Fire Tower, Sopron:

The symbol of the city was once a tower. In the tower, 119 steps lead to the balcony, which offers a bird's eye view to admire the town’s roofs and the forests of the Sopron Mountains.

Muck lookout tower and rest house:

The height of the former Muck lookout tower is 522 meters above sea level. In recognition of Endre Muck’s 30-year-old forest guard service, the association decided to build a lookout tower at Nyíres, which was named Muck lookout tower. The Forest House Ecotourism Visitor Centre, soon to be built in the contested area, displays the wildlife in Sopron Park Forest at a territory of 550 square meters. The center uses 3D technology to bring the big game species of Hungary to life, and to offer a diverse and playful experience to the younger generation about nature and the importance of its protection.
