Írott-kő, Mountain summit between Burgenland, Austria and Kőszeg District, Hungary

Írott-kő, called Geschriebenstein in German, is a 882-metre summit on the Austrian-Hungarian border, the highest point of the Kőszeg Mountains and of Burgenland. A stone lookout tower built in 1913 stands directly on the state border, with the boundary line running through its middle and marked by a border stone inside. The tower entrance is on the Austrian side.

The mountain's name comes from border stones that once separated lands owned by the Batthyány and Esterházy families. These historical markers continue to shape how the peak is understood as a dividing line between two regions.

The observation tower built in 1913 sits right on the border and lets visitors stand in both countries at the same time. This structure has become a symbolic place where people experience national boundaries in a very direct way.

The stone lookout tower at the summit opens from the Austrian side; a border stone inside marks the line that has run through the building since 1920. The tower was closed after damage in 2009 and reopened on 21 July 2010. Long-distance trails meet here, including the Országos Kéktúra, whose western terminus is at the tower.

The exact height of the peak is measured differently by Austria and Hungary, creating a discrepancy of about one meter between their official figures. This disagreement over precise elevation is a lighthearted reflection of the national boundary itself.
