About Nationalpark Neusiedler See-Seewinkel
The Neusiedler See–Seewinkel park protects a landscape of reedbeds, wetlands and saline lagoons in eastern Burgenland. Visitor access is distributed across sectors rather than through a single gate.
Trails and viewing points allow you to explore habitats connected to water and steppe. Birds can be observed depending on season and conditions, with particular interest during migrations from March to May and from August to October. Species presence and water levels in the lagoons vary.
The Illmitz side lies on a different shore to Rust, so you need to plan your transfer. Seek guidance from the visitor centre to choose a route and stick to authorised paths. For a first visit, a guided activity helps to understand a landscape that can look empty from a distance.
