Galya-kilátó

The Galya-kilátó reaches a height of 30 meters and stands at an elevation of 955 meters, offering views across the Mátra mountain range.

Built in 1934 using local andesite stone, the tower underwent major reconstruction in 2016 to address the growth of surrounding trees blocking the views.

The tower forms a key point along the Blue national tourist route, a 1100-kilometer path that connects numerous hiking destinations in Northern Hungary.

Three shelters inside the tower accommodate up to six people each, featuring wooden pallets for sleeping bags and circular windows for natural light.

Steel stairs encased in stainless steel mesh lead to the observation deck, combining traditional andesite walls with modern architectural elements.
