The best MTB trails around Bezirk Neusiedl am See

Mörbisch am See (Hungarian Fertőmeggyes, Megyes) has many sights. Particularly beautiful are the Hofgassen: The Hofgassen in Mörbisch am See have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 2001, Evangelische Pfarrkirche Mörbisch am See, Katholische Pfarrkirche Mörbisch am See

The Podersdorf am See lighthouse was built in 1998 as part of the redesign of the lido and, with its characteristic red-and-white paint, is one of the southernmost inland lighthouses in the German-speaking world. In addition to its function as an optical orientation aid and light storm warning system for water sports enthusiasts, the approximately 12-meter-high metal tower serves as a striking landmark. Today, it is a well-known landmark of Burgenland as well as a popular excursion destination and photo motif on the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl.

The Podersdorf beach campsite is located directly on the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl and borders the Neusiedler See – Seewinkel National Park. It is the largest campsite in the region and offers pitches for motorhomes and tents as well as modern mobile homes. Due to the shallow water and the direct connection to the beach (PODOBEACH), cycle paths and water sports facilities such as kitesurfing, it is a popular hotspot for families and sports enthusiasts.

Drescher Line GmbH operates the most important shipping and bicycle ferry connection on Lake Neusiedl, connecting the west bank (Mörbisch) directly with the east bank (Illmitz in Seewinkel). The ships significantly shorten the cycling route around the lake, with the transport of bicycles, e-bikes, and trailers included in the ferry price. In addition to the regular scheduled and bicycle ferries, the company also offers round trips, excursions to the Mörbisch Lake Festival, and individual water taxis.

It serves as an ideal observation point for the rich birdlife and, thanks to an accessible ramp, also accommodates visitors with prams or wheelchairs. Due to its location directly on regional cycle paths and hiking trails, the tower is a popular stopover for nature observation in the Seewinkel.

The observation tower is located directly on the saline soda lake of the Lower Stinkersee and is situated immediately on the cycle path between Podersdorf and Illmitz. It serves as an excellent vantage point for observing rare waders and water birds such as pied avocets, black-winged stilts, or common terns in their natural habitat. Directly next to the wooden structure, a rest stop with a publicly accessible drinking water fountain offers an ideal refreshment opportunity for cyclists and hikers.

The viewing tower in Hölle is located directly on the Neusiedler See cycle path B10 in the eponymous national park area between Podersdorf and Illmitz. The approximately 16-meter-high wooden tower offers an impressive panoramic view of Lake Neusiedl, the surrounding reed belts, and the salty Stinkerseen lakes, despite its low height. It primarily serves cyclists and hikers as a perfect stopover for bird and nature observation in the protected steppe area.

The Zicksee near St. Andrä am Zicksee is a typical, extremely shallow salt lake in the Seewinkel region, which depends significantly on precipitation and groundwater levels. Due to persistent droughts, the lake almost completely dried up in the summer of 2022, after which the fish population had to be caught. In the meantime, the water level has recovered due to abundant rainfall, which means the Zicksee continues to be an important biotope for rare steppe birds and a popular excursion destination in the region.
