Neusiedler Lake

Bicycling

The flat plains around Neusiedler Lake, with their tiny hamlets and unspoiled scenery, are perfect for leisurely bicycling. Practically every village has a bike-rental shop (Fahrradverleih or Radverleih), but on weekends demand is so great that it's a good idea to reserve in advance. A bike route encircles the lake, passing through Hungary (you can shorten the route by taking the ferry between Illmitz beach and Mörbisch). This and many other routes are described in a German-language map-brochure called "Radeln in Burgenland," available at tourist offices.
