Oberwart sits on the Pinka River in southern Burgenland, Austria, where rolling foothills toward Styria meet the Pannonian lowlands near Hungary. Known in Hungarian as Felsőőr, the town grew from a medieval settlement of frontier guards; its name still preserves that role. Oberwart remains an important centre for Burgenland’s Hungarian-speaking community, whose presence is reflected in local institutions and bilingual place names. Its position makes it a practical base for discovering the region’s small towns, vineyards and thermal-spa country.
