LAKE NEUSIEDL - SEEWINKEL NATIONAL PARK

This steppe national park that crosses international borders was established in 1993. One part of its territory belongs to Austria (100 km2, or 38.61 square miles) and one part to Hungary (150 km2, or 57.92 square miles). The park ranks among the most fascinating natural areas of Europe: the open water and reed-covered zones of Lake Neusiedl, the meadows close to the water, the pasture land, and the saline and periodically dry pools are the habitats that this park has to offer.
