Sieggrabener Kogel, Mountain summit in Burgenland, Austria
Sieggrabener Kogel is a forested summit in Burgenland rising to 650 meters, surrounded by meadows, hedgerows, and scattered wooded patches. The peak lies within the Mattersburger Hügelland protected area and displays a mixed landscape of open and wooded sections.
During the Josephinian Land Survey in the late 18th century, mapmakers recorded this peak as 'Sigraben Kugl' in official documents. This early mapping demonstrates that the location was recognized as a significant geographic point in Austrian records long ago.
Schools in the area use this summit for environmental learning programs where students explore the landscape directly. The site has become a place where people connect with nature and understand the local ecosystems.
Multiple hiking trails approach the summit area, though none reach the actual wooded peak itself, with information boards and QR codes along the routes. Wearing sturdy footwear and following marked paths will help you navigate the area safely.
The rock formations contain rare minerals including amphibolite, serpentinite, pegmatite, marble, and calcium silicates, along with apatite, tourmaline, and garnet. This geological variety makes the area interesting for those observing the mineral composition of the landscape.
