SPRINGTIME IN BURGENLAND. —From Mattersburg a highway leads south west to Forchtcnau, then climbs to the steep hills of the Dolomites, on a rocky spur of which is enthroned the Castle Forchtenstein of the principality of Estcrhazy. The castle was built in 1340, and was reconstructed in 1700, when the huge projecting bastions were added to it. In the springtime the district is a fairyland of apple blossom.
