Írott-kő

Írott-kő

Írott-kő (German:"Geschriebenstein") is the highest mountain of the Kőszeg Mountains range, located on the border between Austria and Hungary. Its height is 884 m according to Austrian sources, whereas Hungarian references mostly mention 883 m.Anyway, it is the highest mountain of Western Hungary (Transdanubia).Former names were "Fenyőhegy" and "Szálkő". Its present name (translation:"Written stone") is assumably derived from border stones with inscriptions between the properties of the Batthyány and Esterházy families.On the summit, there is an observation tower built in 1913.

Since December 2007 the Austrian-Hungarian border can be crossed without formalities as Hungary joined the Schengen Agreement.

Closest villages on the Austrian side are Rechnitz and Lockenhaus, on the Hungarian side Velem.
