Sopron Mountains

The Ödenburger Gebirge is a low mountain range in Burgenland and western Hungary. It forms the eastern end of the Alps and lies near Sopron. The range reaches its highest point at Brenntenriegel. Its gentle slopes and wooded ridges cover a modest area. The landscape blends into the Alpokalja region. The mountains are part of two countries, linking Burgenland and Hungary. The range is worth visiting for its quiet trails and clear views. It offers a contrast to the flat plains of Burgenland. Walkers and cyclists use its paths to reach scenic viewpoints. The Brenntenriegel is a modest climb with rewarding panoramas. The area is less crowded than the main Alpine chains. Its modest height makes it accessible to most visitors. A visitor finds a network of forest tracks and waymarked routes. The Brenntenriegel summit provides wide views over the surrounding countryside. The woodlands are home to local wildlife and wildflowers. The range’s edge drops gently toward the Neusiedler See. Its quiet atmosphere makes it ideal for short walks or longer rambles. The mountains stand as a green barrier between two countries.
