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."

Burgenland's first artificial lake was built between 1962 and 1964 and is located in the tranquil and picturesque Faludital valley. It is approximately 300 m long, 100 m wide, and a maximum of 7 m deep. The bathing lake is fed by springs on the southern slope of the Geschriebenstein and boasts excellent water quality. There is a bathing lake buffet with a seating terrace on the south shore and a snack bar on the north shore. The water slide, the sun island, the diving tower (jumping heights of 3 and 5 meters), and the large swing area also offer plenty of additional entertainment. Free admission to the bathing lake with the Burgenland Card. Price without the card: €3.80 (valid for 2025). Discounts are available for families, seniors, schoolchildren, and students.

The Hirschenstein transmitter station is a technical centerpiece of radio and television broadcasting in eastern Austria and beyond.

Strenuous ascent, but at the lookout point and all the hardships are forgotten

Highest point in Burgenland

Easy to see on the uphill path.

Beautiful, well-kept church.

The pilgrimage church in Lockenhaus is an impressive building in the Baroque style, the foundation stone of which was laid in 1656. It is particularly famous for the largest church organ in Burgenland, which has been playing since 2003 and attracts numerous visitors. Inside the church, you will be amazed by the magnificent altar of the Virgin Mary and the miraculous image of "The Mother of Good Counsel". The mystical "Black Madonna" is located in the crypt.
