Rosalia Mountains

The Rosalia Mountains (German: Rosaliengebirge, Hungarian: Rozália-hegység, Burgenland Croatian: Gorje Rozalija), sometimes called the Rosalie Mountains or Rosalien Mountains, are an outlier of the Alps on the state border between Lower Austria and Burgenland in Austria. The low mountain range runs from north to south and reaches its highest point at the summit of the Heuberg (often also called Rosalia) near Neudörfl, before descending again towards the village of Weppersdorf. They are separated from the Leitha Mountains to the north by the Ödenburg Gate.

From a geological perspective the Rosalia Mountains are part of the Bucklige Welt. The topographical boundary between the Bucklige Welt and the Rosalia is formed by the valley of the Klingfurther Bach, which runs from north to southeast and in which lie the villages of Klingfurth and Rosenbrunn. The boundary continues over the basin of the Hochwolkersdorf hamlet of Alm, along the so-called Totengraben in the Essengraben and then via the Graben into the valley of the Schwarzenbach.

In the east the range is adjoined by the Ödenburg or Sopron Mountains. The north–south boundary between them is formed by the Marzau, the Sieggraben Saddle and the Sieggrabenbach valley.

The following peaks are located in the northern Rosalia:

Mitterriegel

The northern and southern Rosalia Mountains are separated from one another by the Wulka valley, the Heuberg (highest point of the range near the Rosalia Chapel) and a ridge that runs from the Heuberg via the Auerberg and the Hochwolkersdorf hamlet of Hollerberg to Fernblick.

The following peaks are located in the southern Rosalia:

Auerberg

Hartlspitz

Geißspitz

Schwarzkogel

Greimkogel

Like the Leitha Mountains, the Rosalia Mountains are made of gneiss, schist and limestone.
