    The B33 Hexenhügel Bicycle Trail connects the B32 Rosalia Bicycle Trail with the B11 Leitha Bicycle Trail and runs from Mattersburg through Sigleß to Zillingtal. This varied route impressively combines nature, culture, and regional culinary delights, making it ideal for leisurely bike rides.

    A special highlight along the route are the extraordinary landscape artworks by Sigleß-based artist Heinz Bruckschwaiger. Works such as the “Oktaeder” and the “Himmelsleiter” blend harmoniously into the landscape and create striking focal points. They invite you to pause briefly, take in your surroundings, and experience art under the open sky.

    The bike path is named after the mysterious “Hexenhügel” (Witches’ Hill) near Sigleß—an impressive burial mound from the Hallstatt period. Standing over three meters high and measuring about 50 meters in diameter, the burial mound is one of the region’s most significant prehistoric archaeological sites. This historic site offers fascinating insights into the early settlement of Burgenland, and its legendary name sparks the imagination.

    After an eventful tour, the cozy wine taverns in Sigleß invite you to enjoy a delightful break. You can round off your excursion in a relaxed atmosphere with regional specialties and Burgenland wines.

    The B33 Hexenhügel Bicycle Trail uniquely combines exercise, art, history, and cuisine, making it a rewarding destination for anyone who wants to discover Burgenland with all their senses.

    Author’s recommendation

    On hot summer days, the outdoor pools in Mattersburg and Sigleß provide a refreshing way to cool off and offer the perfect opportunity to combine a bike ride with a relaxing swim.

    Safety information

    Since many bike paths are farm roads, you can expect to encounter farm vehicles there. Mutual consideration ensures that these paths remain pleasant for everyone to use.

    In Austria, children up to age 12 are required to wear a bicycle helmet. High-visibility vests are not mandatory at dusk, in the dark, or in poor visibility, but they are certainly beneficial. Click here for the Austrian Bicycle Regulations.
