Route of lookouts above Pécs

If you wish to enjoy the unparalleled panorama of Pécs, we recommend the most beautiful viewpoints of the Mecsek hills directly above the city.

Starting from Tettye, a popular hiking spot known for its medieval ruins and charming park, following the yellow lane after a climb in the rock face, you reach Balázs Rest, from where you can continue to Ilonka Rest or the French Monument, each offering a wonderful panorama.

You can continue the hike from here to the Misina TetőPont, but it is also an excellent starting point for further directions, as you can plan your route here in the comfort of the Misina Cafe over a hot cup of tea or coffee. From the Rotary round promenade around the Misina-tető, you can easily reach the Kis-Tubes and the Nagy-Tubes, with views of the Pécs and Mecsek areas.

Recharge your batteries in the Mecsek in winter!
