This national park lies on the plains at the heart of Europe. It can be reached from both Austria and Hungary, and the lake is proof that nature knows no boundaries. The park aims for the long-term preservation of habitats for a wide variety of bird and plant life in the area where the Alps meet the Euro-Asiatic plains.

Water, rippling reed beds, small fields with flat saltwater pools, this is the Neusiedler Lakes National Park. The Pannonian climate, withdrawal of its long growing period and its position between the Alps and the Puszta, determines the type of plant life: dry meadows surrounded by wetlands and salt marshes. The National Park is full of wildlife, mainly birds: meadow sandpipers, geese, herons, storks, curlews, and birds of prey. Large parts of the National Park are extre- mely important for the migration of birds. The meadows and marshes are places where many migratory species choose to rest in winter. European reports into endangered bird species refer to the importance of the Neusiedler Lake Area. The work of the National Park is also important to preserve this bird paradise, which draws birds from across the globe.

In conservation areas, people should be allowed to make use of the land to educational and leisure purposes. People who live in the region, holiday-makers, or people on day trips are asked to treat nature's creatures with consideration in return to what has now become a rare natural experience. Nature needs a home, but man should not lose their place in nature.

The combination of the original natural landscape and man-made landscape provides for a wide variety of plant and animal life that is unparalleled in Europe. Being located where several climatic zones meet, the area is home to Alpine species as well as those from the Mediterranean and Central Asia. Scientists have long since made the National-Park area into an open-air laboratory on which their research is focused.

Conservationists and scientists had wanted a National Park in the Neusiedler Lakes Area for decades. The joint Austrian - Hungarian planning commission formed in 1987 has operated across national boundaries. Negotiations with the government of the Republic of Hungary took five years, and once the contracts had been signed, the Regional Parliament of Burgenland was able to pass the National Park Act in November 1992.

A major duty of the National Park is the preservation of a natural landscape where humans no longer make use of the land, but instead, nature has been allowed to take over again. For example, the area of small, shallow saltwater pools with reed beds and wide meadows supports a variety of animal and plant life, which were for centuries, used for cattle...

Im Nationalparkzentrum erfährt man alles was den Nationalpark und die verschiedenen Zonen betrifft, sehr interessant, leider waren wir mit dem Auto unterwegs, mit dem Fahrrad lässt sich die Gegend um einiges besser erkunden, zu Fuß sind sie Distanzen teils sehr groß zwischen den Info Punkten, zumindest bei heißem Wetter. (Deshalb ist das Zentrum aber super da dort das Wissen an einem Ort Gebündelt ist)

Die Gegend ist wirklich unglaublich schön, die endlosen Weiten mit den Salzlacken, dem Schilfgürtel und dem See sind wohl einmalig :)

Für die Jenigen die sich über den Weinbau oder Ackerbau beschweren habe ich kein Verständniß, man muss sich im klaren sein, diese Gegend wird schon Jahrhunderte lang genutzt und wäre aus ökologischer Sicht durch die Trockenlegung des Hansag beinahe komplett zerstört worden, dannach wurde sie auch Viehwirtschaftlich genutzt umso bemerkenswerter finde ich es Landschaften wie die Salzlacken und unberührte Steppen noch bestaunen zu dürfen :)

Wer sanften Tourismus mag sollte sich den Seewinkel und Nationalpark unbedingt anschauen, da können sich viele Gegenden ein Stück abschneiden

(Wer wegen leeren Salzlacken enttäuscht ist muss bedenken, dass die Lacken auch...

Wir - ein Gruppe von 4 "grumpy old man" - waren hier Ende Nov 2022 an 2 Tagen mit Ranger Andy Z. unterwegs. Wir wurden positiv überrascht. Informativ, spannend, kurzweilig - die Zeit ist wie im Flug vergangen. Wir haben sehr viel gelernt, über die Tiere, die Natur aber auch über die Geschichte des Seewinkel und des Sees. Tolle Ferngläser wurden zur Verfügung gestellt.

Aber Achtung: Das ist kein Zoo, die Tiere entscheiden ob sie sich zeigen u D.h. der Adler/Brachvogel/Kranich/etc etc etc ist schon da, manchmal sieht man ihn halt nicht. Und dann kann der Ranger/die Rangerin auch nicht zaubern. Man muss auch etwas gehen. Das war aber auch immer spannend und man lernt unterwegs. Auch wenn es regnet, kalt und windig ist - die Veranstaltung findet statt d.h. richtige Kleidung hilft. Gute Schuhe auch! Etwas Vorinformation kann nicht schaden. Wenn man sagt was die Gruppe interessiert wird darauf Rücksicht genommen. Man sitzt in einem Bus - das schaukelt es manchmal und man steigt oft aus und ein.

Największą wadą Parku jest fakt, że wszystkie informacje, broszurki, ulotki są wyłącznie w języku niemieckim. Jedna z pań w głównej siedzibie Parku mówi po angielsku, ale nie może niczego ofiarować obcokrajowcom. Strona internetowa Parku też tylko w języku niemieckim. Trasy w Parku nadają się najlepiej dla rowerzystów. Turyści piesi muszą pokonywać dość długie dystanse, po asfaltowej drodze w pełnym słońcu. Dla zmotoryzowanych kilka parkingów w różnych punktach Parku. W siedzibie znajduje się niewielka wystawa fauny zamieszkującej Park. Jest też plac zabaw dla dzieci. Jestem trochę zawiedziona, bo liczyłam iż dowiem się znacznie więcej o tym ciekawym rejonie Austrii
