The lowest point in Austria, Lake Neusiedl is a steppe lake notable for receiving more than 2,000 hours of sunshine per year. The lake is especially popular during the summer months, when warm waters and gentle winds create the perfect conditions for swimming, windsurfing, paddleboarding, and sailing. Visitors who would rather stay on dry land will be delighted by the cycling trails around the late; twenty-nine different routes span almost 1,000 km, and it's even possible to circle the lake entirely. The region is also known for offering excellent birdwatching opportunities and many acres of idyllic vineyards.
