The Heuberg,[1][2] also called Rosalia,[3] is 748 m (AA) (2,454 ft), and thus the highest peak in the Rosalia Mountains.
Location
The Heuberg lies on the territory of Forchtenstein in the Austrian state of Burgenland, northeast of the Hochwolkersdorf hamlet of Hollerberg and northwest of the village of Rosalienhäuser in the Forchtenstein cadastral municipality of Neustift an der Rosalia. The border with Lower Austria runs past the summit only about 150 metres (490 ft) to the west and south. To the northwest is the village of Heuberg in the cadastral municipality of Ofenbach in the municipality of Lanzenkirchen, where there is a forestry training centre for the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna. The Heuberg's neighbouring summits are the Auerberg (740 metres [2,430 ft]) and the Hartlspitz (700 metres [2,300 ft]) to the south. The Wulka rises on the northeastern mountainside of the Heuberg.
Geology
Geologically, the Heuberg is made of coarse gneiss.[4] Its slopes are dominated by agricultural fields, but the summit area is wooded.
