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 .

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 .
