ENJOYING BURGENLAND Burgenland. Wide plains in the north. Rolling hills in the middle and south. Bordering on Hungary, Slovenia and Slovakia. Discover the diversity of a unique region in the heart of Europe. The UNESCO- World Heritage Site Lake Neusiedl fascinates international visitors just as the six nature parks or the cross-border national park do. Bicycle and bridle paths, top sailing and surfing waters, golf courses and jogging trails make the Burgenland a real sports eldorado. Chefs and winegrowers alike provide for unforgettable culinary experiences while open-air-festivals, music and theatre performances enthuse hundreds of thousands of visitors year for year. Furthermore, thermal spas, wellness and medical hotels aim at restoring harmony to body and soul. Welcome in Burgenland. Welcome on the sunny side of Austria.
NaturE With its almost endless plains, the Mediterranean climate, its idyllic riverside meadows, woods and vineyards as well as the unique Lake Neusiedl the Burgenland offers the perfect possibility to leave the daily routine behind and simply enjoy nature. The combination of continental, sub-Mediterranean and alpine climatic influences creates an extraordinary diversity of animals and plants. Experience almost untouched nature, after all approximately one third of the total area is protected. Stroll through the cross-border national park or the UNESCO World Heritage Site Fertö-Lake Neusiedl , the six nature parks or the 16 „Natura 2.000“-regions – by food, by bicycle, at any time of the year. Each region boosts its own attractions and highlights, as far as both natural charm and culinary delights are concerned. Get to know and love northern, middle and southern Burgenland. For one particular reason, here spring is awake while snow still covers the Austrian Alps. Experience nature in its full range- take a long walk along the cross-border Alpannonia long-distance trail or the accessible tree top trail. If you ride a bike, stop in any case at the watch tower Hölle and run your eyes over the wonderful landscape. The watch tower Geschriebenstein at the highest point of the Burgenland also offers an exceptional view.
