To the Wiesen/Lanzenkirchen observation tower from the Rosalia
Burgenland Tourismus - Erlebnisregion Mittelburgenland-Rosalia Verified partner
This hike leads you along shady forest paths to the Wiesen/Lanzenkirchen observation tower on Steinkogel with magnificent views. On one side, the entire Wulka valley is visible and on the other side, you can see the Steinfeld, Schneeberg, and Bucklige Welt.
This beautiful hike is also especially suitable for older people and families with strollers since, if you wish, you can choose your route along the forest road and walk the same path back. The Wiesen/Lanzenkirchen observation tower on Steinkogel was built across state borders on the Burgenland/Lower Austria border. The tower is 15 meters high and offers magnificent views. On one side, you can see Schneeberg, Steinfeld, and Bucklige Welt; on the other, you look over the entire Wulka valley to Lake Neusiedl. Relaxing loungers and benches with tables invite you to linger and have a snack.
