The approximately 120 meter long, 40 meter wide and 6 meter deep Kürschnergrube is located in northern Burgenland on the crest of the Leithagebirge and belongs to the Hornsteiner Hotter.

The Kürschnergrube was once a quarry where limestone was mined. The legends surrounding the naming are manifold. Whether robber or fur production> the place is worth a visit.

The approximately 120 m long, 40 m wide and 6 m deep Kürschnergrube is an abandoned quarry with a cave. The cave is approx. 23 m long, 11 m deep and is supported by a pillar. According to legend, the name comes from a robber captain named Kürschnersepp, who often hid in the furrier's pit and made the Leithagebirge unsafe. When the military finally encircled him, a carter allegedly helped him escape by hiding him in a wooden box covered with sand.
