Boldog Özséb Observation Tower, Observation tower in Pilisszentkereszt, Hungary
The wooden-clad Boldog Özséb Tower reaches 17.25 meters in height and stands at an elevation of 756 meters on Pilis-tető mountain.
The structure was transformed in 2014 from a concrete geodetic tower built in the 1980s near a former missile base that controlled Budapest's airspace until 1996.
The tower bears the name of Eusebius of Esztergom, founder of the Pauline Order, who lived as a hermit in the surrounding mountains.
Visitors can reach the free-access tower via paved paths from the Két-Bükkfa-nyereg parking lot or through hiking trails from Pilisszentkereszt and Pilisszántó.
The observation platform provides 360-degree views of Pilis Mountains, Börzsöny, Dunazug Mountains, and Budapest's lights after dark.
