Opposite the Catholic church is the Protestant bell tower. During the Reformation, Walbersdorf was a Protestant stronghold in Burgenland. After the Edict of Toleration in 1781, when Protestant Christians were again allowed to publicly profess their faith, a dispute arose over whether the bells of the Catholic church should be rung at Protestant funerals. It is said that the issue was also about money, as was the possibility of a fee being paid for the ringing. The people of Walbersdorf could not agree. So, in 1800, the Protestants finally built their own bell tower, because no one should embark on their final journey without hearing the sound of the bells. They built it as a small, self-assured symbol directly opposite the local Catholic church. Shortly after its construction, the tower began to lean. Today, it is more crooked than the Tower of Pisa, yet it still doesn't fall over. (https://evang.at/der-schiefe-turm-von-walbersdorf/)

A striking feature of the cityscape is the imposing railway viaduct, which is also a landmark of the city. The viaduct is 20 meters high and spans the Wulka Valley over a length of approximately 150 meters; it was built from August 1846 to March 1847.

Quiet street past the festival grounds

A beautiful covered rest area with a drinking fountain and cherry tree. Depending on the time of day, the light changes through the differently colored windows.

A drinking water fountain is often a welcome feature, especially on flat land and in summer. Unfortunately, there are more and more fountains marked "Not for drinking water."

In parts the path runs through dense forest, in other parts you have a beautiful view over the young trees.

A beautiful covered wooden bridge over the Leizha where the water comes out again.
