!!!Ruster Hügelland

Rust Hills, Burgenland, a group of hills covered with vineyards with a 
width of 3 km from Schuetzen am Gebirge stretching for ca. 
12 km south along the Hungarian border and dropping off at Lake 
Neusiedl in the east. Lime quarries, located near 
St. Margarethen, produced stone used in many of Vienna´s 
famous buildings (principally those along the Ringstrasse). The flat 
Rust hills, made from limestone from the Leitha mountains, gravel and 
traces of the remains of the crystalline basement complex, measure 
only 224 meters above sea level on Austrian territory (in 
Goldberg bei Oggau). Only the south-west portion is covered with 
forests (St. Margarethen public forest) to a significant extent. 
Towns: on its eastern base lie Oggau, Rust and Moerbisch am See, and 
on its western base lie Schuetzen am Gebirge, Oslip and 
St. Margarethen im Burgenland.
