The highest point in Burgenland with the 884 m high border tower on the Geschriebenstein is on the royal stage from Köszeg to Lockenhaus. Four castles as starting points or stage destinations make this hiking route unique. The tour is not only a pleasure for long-distance hikers, but also offers those interested in culture an additional offer through the exhibitions at the castles and palaces along the route.
The five stages take you through the entire Güns Mountains to the transition to the Pannonian Plain in Köszeg. As a high-altitude hiking trail, the route mainly leads along natural paths through forest and wine-growing areas with magnificent panoramic sections. The Rechnitz to Köszeg stage in particular leads along the Rechnitz vineyards through the "suburban vineyards" to the city center of Köszeg, one of the most beautiful cities in Hungary (awarded the Jószef Hild Architecture Prize).
Mainly on natural paths, stage from Lockenhaus to Bernstein partly on bike path B58.
