Stremtal#

Strem Valley, Burgenland: the River Strem, which drains the valley, rises west of Oberwart (alt. 315 m) and has an average flow rate of 1.7 m3/sec. at Heiligenbrunn. The Strem valley runs through the southern part of Burgenland in a south-easterly direction; agricultural activities concentrate on the cultivation of grain and maize and on grass-land farming. The valley plain of Stegersbach (alt. 259 m) is embedded between the hills at the valley head and around Guessing (alt. 229 m). Cones of former volcanoes can be found in the area around Guessing. Close to the Hungarian border, where the River Strem joins the River Pinka, lie the villages of Strem (alt. 207 m) and Heiligenbrunn (alt. 223 m).
