    Photo: Iron Curtain Trail, Burgenland Tourismus
Im Römischen Reich hatte sich bis zum 4. nachchristlichen Jahrhundert der Mithraskult entwickelt, eine Mysterienreligion, über die zu berichten verboten war. Weil sie vor und nach der Einführung des Christentums von der römischen Staatsreligion abwich, wurde sie meistens heimlich ausgeübt und war, da sie ausschließlich auf Männer abstellte, besonders unter den Legionären verbreitet. Ein Tempel dieses Kultes wurde 1866 zufällig unter wucherndem Gestrüpp an dem Verbindungsweg zur österreichischen Nachbargemeinde Mörbisch am See entdeckt. Das in den Untergrund vertiefte restaurierte Gebäude - der „felsengeborene“ Mithras wurde meistens in Höhlen verehrt - findet sich unmittelbar am heutigen Grenzübergang. Es enthält außer drei Altären das für diesen Kult typische Relief der Stiertötung. Diese wird heute mehrheitlich astronomisch gedeutet: als Ende eines Zeitalters und Beginn eines machtvollen neuen.

Das Mithraeum aus dem frühen dritten Jahrhundert ist von Mitte März bis Mitte Oktober zu besichtigen. Anlässlich des 20. Jahrestags vom Paneuropäischen Picknick wurde hier am 19. August 2009 die 9. Sinfonie von Ludwig van Beethoven aufgeführt.
