Seewinkel
02175
Seewinkel is the heart of the
Neusiedler See-Seewinkel National Park
, and a grassland and wet-
land of immense importance to birds and other wildlife. The vineyards, reed beds, shim-
mering waters and constant birdsong make this an enchanting region for an excursion.
This is an excellent area for birdwatching and explorations on foot or by bicycle.
The protected areas cannot be directly accessed by visitors, so to really get into the
birdwatching you need a pair of binoculars. There are viewing stands along the way.
