Tips from the Community
The modern summit cross stands a short distance from the highest point of the Geschriebenstein, where the popular viewing tower is enthroned instead. It is made of aluminum, firmly anchored to a rock, and can be reached relaxed during a leisurely hike through the nature park. Incidentally, the border between Austria and Hungary runs directly over this historic border point.

The Esterházy Trail entrance in the Oberpullendorf district near Lockenhaus marks the starting point for a really cool flow trail in the middle of the Geschriebenstein Nature Park. The route winds its way through nature over eight kilometers and offers a lot of riding fun, especially in the lower part with a few cool jumps and berms. Because the upper section starts off more leisurely, both relaxed touring riders and families get their money's worth here.

The Head Trail directly at the summit of the Geschriebenstein is a brilliant entry-level trail for the whole family and all mountain bike fans. While the upper section with some stones and roots is still a bit more technical, from the middle onwards you roll along absolutely relaxed and child-friendly. The route is perfectly suited for warming up on the highest mountain in Burgenland before venturing into more demanding downhill adventures.

The parish and pilgrimage church of St. Nicholas in Burgenland is an impressive baroque house of worship, especially valued for its artistic furnishings and spiritual significance. Visitors will find a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere here, which is great for pausing and discovering the historical details. Thanks to its central location in the town, the church is also a great starting point for exploring the surrounding region.

Serious level trails, rooty-rocky deep corners.

The small sacred monument we encounter on the Geschriebenstein, in the form of a summit cross, is—besides the view it offers—perhaps also the perfect place for a brief moment of reflection. A few years ago, Christiane Völkel commented on the wonderfully fitting sentence by the Italian poet Francesco Petrarch (who lived in the 14th century), "Everywhere one has heaven above oneself," as follows: "What is the use of prayer? This question moves me (...) I have found for myself the answer and the certainty that when I pray I am with the Lord, or rather, that when I pray he is often noticeably closer to me than usual. Thus, I retain the possibility of pouring out my heart to him (...) This intimacy with him makes me believe in him."
