Az Írott-kő (Geschriebenstein in german) is the highest peak both of Transdanubia and the mountains of Kőszeg.

Firstly it was mentioned in the 14th century. In that time the peak was called Pine- mountain, buti t was changed to Spearstone in the 17th century. It got its present name from the borderstone between the proprieties of the families Batthyány – Eszterházy according to the presumptions.

There was built the first belvedere, a wooden tower, in 1891 and it could be visited till 1909. The Hungarian-Austrian borderline runs across the stone-belvedere built in 1913, which is recognized by a borderstone in the middle of the tower. The entrance of the belvedere opens from Austria.

In 2003 there was opened a border crossing point for the tourists on bike and foot. It was crossable from spring to autumn between 10 am – 6 pm till our attendance to the Schengen-zone.

Besides the belvedere there you can find the final westend point of the National Bluetour.
