Surrounded by wheat fields and meadows, the approximately 8m high viewing tower on the Kreuzberg in the small Burgenland village of Aschau. Once you reach the top, you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view at an altitude of around 600 meters. From there, there is a direct line of sight to the lookout tower on the Hutwisch in Hochneukirchen (Lower Austria), the so-called "Guglhupf" in Redlschlag and the lookout tower on the Geschriebenstein in Rechnitz. On a clear day, you can even see as far as the Dolomites and Riegersburg Castle!
The circular route from Aschau leads directly to the viewing tower and back again.
