Rozhľadňa Svätý Jur
You will enjoy beautiful views of the wine-growing region as well as the far surroundings from the lookout tower in the small town of Svätý Jur. The lookout tower, reminiscent of a small stone house, is built on a small hill with stone fortifications. The surroundings, adorned with grapevines or fruit trees, blend seamlessly with the local vineyards. Set out on a wonderful trip with family, children, or friends. The easy route is also suitable for your running or cycling training.
The low lookout tower, with a height of 4 meters, is one of the lowest around Bratislava. Nevertheless, it offers you unique views in this well-known wine-growing area. The small observation tower is part of a vineyard open-air museum. Its construction was related to the revitalization of the surroundings, the building of a trail, and a place for tastings or exploring the history of wine and interesting facts about Svätý Jur. In the immediate vicinity, you will find a small vineyard cottage or a shelter with seating where you can hide from the hot rays of the sun or unexpected rain. You can reach the lookout tower via an approximately 20-minute route along a paved panel road.
You can combine the climb up the year-round accessible lookout tower with visits to nearby attractions. Come explore the surroundings of Malé Karpaty from Hrad Biely Kameň. The castle, whose origins date back to the 13th century, once served to protect the western border of the Kingdom of Hungary. Are you tempted by wine tasting? Pay a visit to Pezinok.
