July 25: Interrupted by the new gravel road. Re-entry is easy to miss.

"This path, like many others, once served as a connecting route across the Leitha Mountains. The paths were used in every season, and so it could happen that people lost their way and died in bad weather or during harsh winters. According to the story, a Jewish traveler met his end here. He was found frozen to death leaning against a now-fallen linden tree that served as a border tree. Since then, the place has been called 'Zum Juden'."

The statue of Mary marks the end of the Buchgraben trail. This is an ideal uphill trail that starts at the ORF Burgenland Center. Difficulty level: 3 (according to Korbaj) Update July 2025: Like many trails in the Leitha Mountains, this one was recently leveled and is now significantly easier and also less interesting. What a shame about this once very beautiful uphill trail! 😢

The Schöne Jäger is located in the heart of a flow trail paradise. Technically, it's not difficult, and simply a beautiful ride.

Located hidden (overgrown) in the forest. About 200m from "Beim Juden". Towards Großhöflein, then left at the small Sonnenberg. (Only accessible on foot)
