Selected alternatives for you
    From the top of the pass on the main road, the stone nature trail leads you to the summit of the Geschriebenstein (884 m) with its viewing platform. It also forms the border between Austria and Hungary. With a valid passport or identity card, you can cross the border here without hindrance. From Geschriebenstein (Irottkö) you hike downhill to Hörmann-forrás (Hörmann spring) and then to the Steirerhäusern. From here you continue along forest paths and after a final, short ascent you come to the Óház-tető ruins with their lookout tower. Now it is not far to the beautiful town of Kőszeg, where the main alpannonia® trail leads past the nature conservation center to the town center. Here you reach the eastern end/beginning of the alpannonia® trail.enland to Hungary

    When choosing a route, make sure it matches your mountaineering experience and physical fitness. Check the weather forecast in advance. The weather in the mountains can change surprisingly quickly. Therefore, always set out with the appropriate gear (e.g., rain gear).

    Check whether the huts and snack bars you plan to visit along the way are open. Let someone know your route and your planned return time before you set out.
