Rohrbach bei Mattersburg (Hungarian: Fraknónádasd, Croatian: Orbuh ) is a market town in the district Matter castle in Burgenland in Austria. The municipality is located in the Natural Park Rosalia Kogelberg.

Geography

Rohrbach bei Matter castle is located on the northern slopes of the Sopron Mountains on the Austrian- Hungarian border. The place is nestled in the rolling hills of the eastern Alps spur, whose landscape is made up of the contrasting morphological forms of the Eastern Alps and the Hungarian Plain.

Gently the Alps run from here, their last hill lost in the last foothills of the Little Hungarian Plain. The tops of the mountains Ödenburger adorns a dense mixed forest, to which a multi-unit agricultural corridor with a rich fruit trees is joined; numerous cherry trees lend the heyday of the landscape an almost magical flair. The relatively warm and dry temperate Pannonian climate can grow mighty chestnut groves and promotes viticulture.

The sunny side slopes of Rohrbacher Kogels include with its many orchards, dry grasslands and hay meadows of the finest and most extensive dry landscapes in Burgenland. The mild climate, the limestone soil and the early clearing of the forest led to the emergence of a heat-loving, extremely rich flora and fauna. The area is provided as a " natural reserve Rohrbacher Kogel " under special protection.

Also located in a Talung at the foot of Kogels " Teichwiesen " are nature reserve. The largely verschilfte wetland in the center of the area is at margins surrounded by flood meadows in the higher areas, the pass " hillside meadows " for long, extensively used lean and dry meadows. The importance of the village in the hills Mattersburger Europe reserve lies in the diversity of different habitat types, ranging from dry grasslands on different configurations of hay meadows up to marsh and water areas. This is associated with a very large biodiversity of sometimes highly endangered animal and plant species.

In the forested south of the municipal area, in Rohrbacher forest, springs from the Aubach as the top section of the river flow Ikva.

History
