Írottkő

Írottkő is located in the Kőszeg Mountains in the western part of the country, at an altitude of 883 m. It is interesting to note that the border between Austria and Hungary passes right through the building. This means that one half of it belongs to Austria and the other half to Hungary.

Reaching the top of the tower, we can enjoy the beautiful panorama. In clear weather, you can even see Lake Balaton and the Austrian Schneeberg-Rax peaks.
