On this alpannonia® Hard route, we encounter two checkpoints. This is a massive strain on the hiker's muscles, as in the first stage we face more than 500 m of elevation gain in less than 6 km. Our efforts are rewarded with beautiful views from the Írottkő lookout (884m), the highest point of Transdanubia...Tour passports and more information about the alpannonia® Hard circular routes can be found on the naturpark.hu/alpannonia®túrázó website.

The circular route starting from Bozsok, balancing along the state border, boasts unique sights such as the Kalapos-kövek and the caves opening from them, as well as the lookout on Írott-kő, which was inaccessible for decades. Although the ascent to the peak requires a fair amount of effort, the panoramic view rewarding us from there makes all the fatigue forgotten.

A hike on forest roads and mostly unmarked paths that is recommended for two people due to solitude during corona times. This includes the highest mountain of Burgenland and the highest mountain of Burgenland that stands alone in Burgenland, as of 16.2.2021.

The Geschriebenstein, at 884 meters, is the highest peak in Burgenland and worth a visit for that reason alone. Extensive hikes through the magnificent forests of the nature park can be undertaken all year round and have a special charm, especially in windy and rainy weather.

    Egyik kedvenc túrám az @alpannonia túrák közül. Túrabot ajánlott, az Írott-kőre felfelé és főképp a meredeken lefelé nagy segítség, a patakon átkelésnél szintén. A zöld jelzés elég vadregényes,sok helyütt szinte benőtte az erdő.

    War an einem sehr heißen Tag unterwegs und schließe mich dem Kommentar v Hr Schneider an: super Tour zu lohnenden Zielen, jedoch schwierig zu orientieren. Auf der gesamten Strecke findet sich keine Beschilderung, nur im Aufstieg eine halbwegs brauchbare Markierung. Ohne eigenen Orientierungssinn und vorab heruntergeladenen GPS-Daten wäre es kaum möglich, auf dem geplanten Weg zu bleiben. Zudem war an der einzigen Labstation (neben der Warte) an dem Tag das Wasser aus, also unbedingt genügend mitnehmen, Redbull als Durstlöscher ist so eine Sache 😉

    Szép útvonal, az Írott-kőnél rengeteg volt az osztrák, őket gondolom, a Sátán rakta oda, hogy ne tudjak alaposabban körülnézni a kilátóban. Nem is a felfelé menet volt a nehezebb, hanem lejutni a hegyről. Könnyű megcsúszni a köveken, erre figyelni kell, meredek a lejtő, a dús vegetáció pedig megköveteli a hosszú ruházat viselését. Sok a szederbokor, illetve előfordul, hogy alig látszik az ösvény a növényzettől (megint otthon hagytam a bozótvágót). Jóféle kirándulás volt.

    Szép túra, vannak meredekebb szakaszok felfelé. Lefelé a piros-zöld szakasz nagyon nehezen járható a sok szeder bokortól (kivágták a fákat és a gerincen vezető ösvényt benőtte az aljnövényzet, valamint elég meredek is tele görgeteg kövekkel). Akinek nem jó a térde, tériszonya van, annak nem ajánlott. Jól talpú terepcipő erősen ajánlott, elég veszélyes! A patak mellett vezető szakaszon kidőlt fák vannak ahol bujkálni, mászni kell, de a többi helyen jól járható.

    Csodálatos környezet, bár az Írott kőtől vezető út első pár kilómétere szinte járhatatlan annyira benőtte a növényzet. A visszafele úton egyik ösvényről a másikra ugrál a térkép ami kivitelezhetetlen. A ettől függetlenül gyönyörű és de nem szabad csak az útvonalnak hinni. A dús és szúrós aljnövényzetnek miatt a hosszú nadrág indokolt a visszaúton. Aki nem szereti az aszfalton túrázást akkor a Szent Anna Templom után is lehet kezdeni a túrát, autóval könnyen lehet ott parkolni.

    Der erste Teil der Wanderung von Rechnitz bis zum Geschriebenstein und dann noch weiter bis zum Großen Hirschenstein war gut markiert und schön zu gehen. Der Abstieg vom Großen Hirschenstein nach Rechnitz war dann etwas mühsam, besonders der Teil zwischen dem ehemaligen Pflegeheim und der Schotterstraße. Anscheinend wird der Weg nicht sehr oft begangen, weil er teilweise sehr stark verwachsen war. Fazit: Obwohl der Geschriebenstein unter den Seven Summits in Österreich nicht mal vierstellig ist, braucht er sich was den Ausblick betrifft nicht verstecken. Wir hatten an diesem Wochenende eine Wunderbare Fernsicht bis zur Koralpe und Hochschwab) sowie die Pannonische Tiefebene. Der erste Teil des Rundweges Top, der zweite Teil (ab dem Großen Hirschenstein) fällt aus oben genannten Gründen eher unter die Kategorie "flop". Trotz dessen, für eine nette (Halb-)Tageswanderung ist die Runde allemal zu empfehlen.

    Auch im Winter eine schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour, die hervorragend markiert und ausgeschildert ist. Bei Winterwanderungen aber ein wenig Vorsicht wegen des Bruchholzes in den Waldwegpassagen. Man kommt zwangsläufig immer wieder ein wenig vom Weg ab.
