The statue of Mary marks the end of the Buchgraben trail. This is an ideal uphill trail that starts at the ORF Burgenland Center. Difficulty level: 3 (according to Korbaj) Update July 2025: Like many trails in the Leitha Mountains, this one was recently leveled and is now significantly easier and also less interesting. What a shame about this once very beautiful uphill trail! 😢

A beautiful place and an invitation to explore the area with a different mode of transport.

The bench near the statue invites you to take a rest.

A great view of the renaturalized river.

The community of Loretto itself has fewer than 500 inhabitants, but an estimated 100,000 pilgrims are counted here each year. The biggest pilgrimage days are the "Great Women's Day" (Assumption of Mary) on August 15th, when between 15,000 and 20,000 people come to Loretto, the Feast of the Nativity of Mary on September 8th, and the "Croatian Sunday", the pilgrimage of the Burgenland Croats, on the third Sunday in September. Many of the pilgrims still come on foot today. It seems that I picked a special day for my visit today. I was completely alone, not a soul to be seen.

A control room with a sensational panoramic view!

Beautiful cycle bridge, canoe trips are available here.

On August 15, 2023, the Great Kirtag will be held in Loretto again this year, as every year for the 'Assumption of Mary' pilgrimage. On this day, up to 25,000 people from near and far populate the small community at the foot of the Leitha Mountains in the district of Eisenstadt-Umwelt in Burgenland.
