🔔 Firewatch Tower (Tűztorony) – The Icon of Sopron

#postandearn #attractive Standing tall in the historic center of Sopron, the Firewatch Tower (Tűztorony) is the city’s most famous landmark and a must-visit for travelers. Originally built in Roman times and later reconstructed in the 17th century, this tower once served as a lookout for spotting fires and enemy attacks. Climbing up its winding staircase was an adventure in itself, but the real reward awaited at the top — a 360° panoramic view over Sopron’s red-roofed old town, the surrounding countryside, and even towards Austria. The colorful coat of arms and statues at the base add charm to the tower, while the historic exhibitions inside share stories of Sopron’s past. Practical tips: The climb is moderate, but the steps can be narrow, so wear comfortable shoes. Go on a clear day for the best views, and bring your camera — the skyline is picture-perfect! Visiting the Firewatch Tower felt like stepping back in time, while enjoying some of the best views in western Hungary. #createwithtrip #sopron #hungarytravel
