Tips from the Community
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.

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.
