The range is an offshoot of the Alps and forms a connection to the Carpathians to the north. It is a ridge about 35 km long and 5–7 km wide along the southeastern edge of the Vienna Basin from Brucker Pforte in the northeast to Wiener Neustädter Pforte (Ödenburger Pforte) in the southwest. The range lies to the southeast of the Leitha River and is considered part of the Randgebirge östlich der Mur division of the Eastern Alps. Its highest peak, Sonnenberg (Hungarian: Nap-hegy), is 484 m above sea level.
The ridge is heavily forested with deciduous trees such as oak, hornbeam, and beech predominating.

[fr] Montagne de la Leitha
La montagne de la Leitha est une colline longue de 35 km et large de 5 à 7 km qui sépare la Basse-Autriche du Burgenland entre la porte de Wiener Neustadt, au sud-ouest, et la porte de Bruck an der Leitha, au nord-est. Cette chaîne prolonge les Alpes jusqu'au pied des Carpates. Son point culminant est le Sonnenberg (« la montagne du soleil ») à 484 m d'altitude. Le versant septentrional et le sommet sont couverts de chênes, de charmes et de hêtres. Le versant méridional est marqué par la présence de vignes (welschriesling, pinot blanc, chardonnay, blaufränkisch) qui dominent le lac de Neusiedl.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
