Welcome to Burgenland, the land of mountains

Almost unbelievable, but true: there are 23 summit crosses in Austria's easternmost province. A 57-year-old mountaineer from Lower Austria will visit them all in one day. The start is at 5 am in Neusiedl am See, the finish is the Stadelberg in southern Burgenland at 10 pm. 

Rolf Majcen will not need an oxygen machine if he chooses a day in mid-April to visit all 23 summit crosses in Burgenland - especially not when he starts at five o'clock in the morning in Neusiedl am See, where he has to climb the 159-metre-high Kalvarienberg.
