ホッホヴォルカースドルフのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Boundary stone of the "Great Imperial Forest" from 1755 with the princely coat of arms (crown, shield, and initials of Maria Theresa). Maria Theresa transferred this forest to state ownership in 1755. There are also stones from later times marked "K.k. F.A." (Imperial Royal Forestry Aerar). All stones are painted over with the BF (Federal Forests) logo.

Up and down technically demanding route.

Numerous hiking trails meet at Forchtenstein Castle. The castle is therefore the hub for hikes to the Rosalia and beyond. First we go along Reserlgasse and then we join the Reitsteig. From there it is a little steeper through the forest to the Rosalien Chapel. The somewhat sweaty climb through the Rosalia forests is rewarded with the most beautiful panoramic view at the summit of Heuberg, 748m, where the Rosalien Chapel is also located. The Rosalien Chapel is unique in Burgenland due to its early Baroque interior, which has been preserved in its entirety, and is visited again and again by numerous pilgrims. It is particularly popular for weddings and baptisms. Up there, where heaven and earth seem to touch, you can enjoy a unique view over the whole of northern Burgenland, deep into the Vienna Basin and Hungary, and also over the Bucklige Welt, the Rax, Hohe Wand and Schneeberg. It is particularly enchanting up here when there is snow, because you feel like you are in a "winter wonderland".
