M61 WeinSteinWeg

Starting from the inn "Zur Traube" in Herrengasse, you walk a short section on the route of the historic Roman Amber Road. This is highlighted by a display panel at the Florian Chapel. The path then leads you to the district of Haschendorf, where you can admire a prehistoric cult object. This cult object is one of only two bronze objects of its kind worldwide. The replica at the find spot can be viewed and touched. The original is on display in the Museum in Sopron.

The path passes a boundary stone and border sign at the Austrian-Hungarian state border and leads past the old border tower amidst the vineyards. The topic "border" is informatively presented there on information boards about the history of the Iron Curtain! A short detour to the nearby Franciscan Chapel is also worthwhile. The picturesque chapel and the wonderful view will delight you. Equally impressive is the well-known Donatus Chapel, also called the Weingarten Chapel. Due to its idyllic location and fantastic view – on clear days you can see the shimmering Neusiedler See – it is also a popular wedding venue. After a short detour through the shaded forest and past the Oswald Chapel, you walk back towards the town area. There you cross the premises of the "Winzer Neckenmarkt". Here you can stop for a break, taste the best wines from Neckenmarkt, and take some home before returning to the starting point through the small vineyard behind the premises!

On the first part of the path, you walk on the plain with a constant view of the vineyards on the gentle foothills of the Ödenburg mountains. On the way back to Neckenmarkt, you cross these vine-covered hills and look down from above onto the wide wine landscape extending to the horizon below. The last section of the path leads you through the beginning forests in the border area north of Neckenmarkt. In the background of the vineyards, you have the magnificent forests of Mittelburgenland in view but can see the entire route.

Good footwear, sporty clothing, rain and sun protection, as well as a bottle of drinking water should always be with you.

It is advisable to carry a mobile phone.
