HIRING BIKES
Burgenland is a cyclist's dream. Much of the landscape is flat or has gently rolling hills and is criss-crossed with
well-marked cycle paths.
Local tourist offices can supply cycle maps. From Neusiedl am See the 135-km Neusiedler See bike trail leads
south, crossing into Hungary (bring your passport) for 38km before the path re-emerges in Austria just south of
Mörbisch am See on the western side of the lake.
