Tips
The Schusterkreuz stood on the forest path to Eisenstadt, ½ hour from Hornstein. Since 2010 there has been a kind of cobbler's stone at the point where a cobbler is said to have frozen to death while walking.

At 484 m, the Sonnenberg is the highest mountain in the Leithagebirge. At the summit of the Sonnenberg is the Sonnenbergwarte, a border watchtower built during the Cold War and transferred here after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Today this 15 meter high metal tower can be climbed as a viewing tower and allows a panoramic view, in good weather until the change.
