The Leitharadweg "B11" is a 65 kilometer long cycle path in Northern Burgenland. The cycle route runs between Leitha and the Leithagebirge . It is almost entirely paved (with the exception of a 500 m long gravel stretch between Neufeld and Zillingdorf / Bergwerk). The Leitharadweg begins in Eisenstadt and leads past small towns and cultural treasures to Stotzing . After the turning point in Stotzing, the shorter variant via Hornstein can be used on the way back .

An additional option is the approx. 30 km long Leitha cycle path from Neufeld , which leads as a circular route through the towns of Zillingdorf-Bergwerk, Steinbrunn and Hornstein.

Sights along the way

Eisenstadt

Steinbrunn

  • Steinbrunner See

Neufeld on the Leitha

Leithaprodersdorf

  • Gschlößl: To the east of the village are the remains of a medieval fortification with its wall-ditch system that is still visible today. The Gschlößl is a moated castle consisting of three concentric trenches and ramparts .
  • Friedhofskirche: The former medieval parish church of St. Stephan Martyr was built southwest of the village on the "Berg". After its destruction in 1683 - during the Second Turkish Siege of Vienna - it was restored in 1907 and converted into a chapel. Gothic fresco remains were found in the tower chapel .

Loretto

Stotzing

  • Teufelsloch / Sulzberghöhle: The hollow was created here by the targeted mining of porous Leitha limestone (grit, special building block) under a more compact cover, also made from Leitha limestone. What is remarkable in this area is an approximately 1–2 m thick layer of stone cores from wing mussels from the Isognomon genus .
