Bird Paradise

Neusiedler See is a lake on the border between Austria and Hungary, not far from our capital city. It became a national park in 1991 (Hungary) and 1993 (Austria). In 2001, this area became part of UNESCO World Heritage. The lake itself covers an area of more than 320 km², but at deepest point it barely reaches 2 metres. Not many people know that Neuseidler See is a saline lake – a memory of sea Tethys from a distant past.

Thanks to very strict protection, birds here are accustomed to human presence, which means, that they are not as shy and elusive as in places where human activity bothers them. For this reason, and with the help of many observation stations and hides, Neuseidler See is one of the best places to do bird watching anywhere in Central Europe.
