You're standing at Forchtenstein Castle, high in the Rosalia Mountains, a little over five hundred metres above sea level. Below you lies the Wulka valley.

Burgenland belonged to Hungary until 1921, and this castle guarded the frontier with the Holy Roman Empire and the road between the Danube and Italy.
