Tokaj lookout tower

Viewpoints · Malá Tŕňa · Vyhliadková veža Tokaj

The region's landmark: a 12-metre lookout tower shaped like a wine barrel, standing in the vineyards between Malá Tŕňa and Černochov.

The steel tower, clad in wooden slats to look like a barrel, opened on 30 May 2015 and looks out over the Tokaj vineyards towards Sátoraljaújhely in Hungary. Next to it are a gazebo, benches, a children's playground and a car park, and the tower is lit at night. Access is free all year. On foot it takes about 30 minutes from Malá Tŕňa or about an hour from Černochov, and the Tokaj cycle loop from Malá Tŕňa passes it after 1.5 km.
