The hidden treasures of Burgenland: nature, wine and adventure

Burgenland, located in the east of Austria, is a true paradise for nature lovers, wine lovers and adventurers. With its unique flora and fauna, picturesque towns and rich culture, this region offers an unforgettable experience.

A paradise for water sports enthusiasts

Lake Neusiedl, the largest steppe lake in Europe, is a magnet for water sports enthusiasts. Here you can glide almost silently on an electric boat through small canals, past hidden holiday homes, and enjoy the unique landscape. For wine lovers there is a wide selection of wines to try, while cyclists can explore the picturesque town of Rust and other places around the lake.

The magic of the Seewinkel National Park

The Seewinkel National Park is a must for all nature lovers. With its salt lakes and rare bird species, the park offers a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of nature. Here you can see rare birds such as the dunlin, the black curlew and the shelduck. Interestingly, the shelducks breed in caves and sometimes even share a cave with a fox!

The Tomato Kaiser and his tomatoes

There is a very special tomato plantation in Frauenkirchen. Tomatoes, also known as tomatoes, grow here without any climbing aid. This plantation is run by Erich Stekovics, the so-called “Paradeiser Kaiser”. He has over 1,600 heirloom varieties from all over the world that thrive here. His secret? He lets the plants be what they are, and the result is not only beautiful, but also delicious tomatoes.

The wine culture of Burgenland

Burgenland is known for its wine culture. Here you will meet winemakers who produce their wine with passion and dedication. One such example is the Renner siblings, who work in their winery in Gols. They produce natural, cloudy organic wine that is aged in barrels but also in clay amphoras to achieve an even more natural taste.
