Großer Hirschenstein, Mountain summit and scenic viewpoint in Burgenland, Austria
The Großer Hirschenstein rises to 862 meters, making it the second-highest peak in Burgenland, featuring extensive views of the surrounding Austrian landscape.
Between 1952 and 1975, the mountain housed a medical facility at 700 meters elevation, specifically dedicated to treating patients with tuberculosis and lung diseases.
The name Großer Hirschenstein, meaning Great Stag Stone, comes from a legend involving King Matthias Corvinus hunting and killing a deer on this mountain.
The summit contains a 90-meter transmission tower that broadcasts ORF programs and private radio stations throughout central and southern Burgenland regions.
The mountain area formerly contained large populations of spring snowflakes, which were saved through dedicated conservation efforts by the Geschriebenstein-Írottkő Nature Park Association.
