Lake Neusiedl, Burgenland, Austria

4.5 (26 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Neusiedl am See Bodies of Water

Ideal place for nice memories from a beautiful spring day

This lake is located in Austria and Hungary and its north area is only 40km away from Bratislava. Its ideal for windsurfing, sailing... I would not recommend to swim there, despite I saw a beach aimed for this purpose, as its water is too muddy. On the other hand there are places where you will spend nice moments with your family, friends or children. We’ve been to Neusiedl am See waterside and there are restaurants, coffees, pubs, playgrounds and many entertainment zones. What is in my opinion its best value is the bike road which is built along the lake where you can enjoy the day in a more active manner (either on bike or with rollers). This is the place where I will certainly return.

    Lovely place, not crowded, offers various kinds of entertainment
    We went for a ship ride from the HUngarian site, to Mörbisch and back to Fertőrákos, with Drescher ship company, where staff was very friendly. The biggest stage on water is in Mörbisch, we decied to go again and see preformance as well, but in 2020 it is not possibly. Lovely small shacks are on the water, both on the Hungarian and on the Austrian side. in 2017, 10 of the thatched roofed buildings were destroyed by fire, still not rebuilt - not sure if there is no wish for rebuliding or no money for it?? Water is shallow, safe for any kind of watersport activity. As there is no mud, only sand on the lake, the colour is a bit strange for us, who were used to the darker colour of Lake Balaton. I would definitely recommend to stay in any of the neraby villages and go biking, surfing, sunbathing, fishing, etc.

    Beautiful Spot
    Very relaxing place. One of the highlights of Burgenland. A section of the lower part of the lake is in Hungary. Went for a short boat trip across the lake on a bright Sunday morning and there were plenty of watersports around: windsurfing and yachting.
