Natuur en parken in Burgenland

Nature's Vistas and Wonders

Burgenland’s landscape transitions from the Pannonian Plain's saline wetlands to the forested foothills of the Alps. This collection highlights the province’s diverse topography, including the 884-meter Geschriebenstein, the highest peak in the region, and the extinct basalt volcano of Pauliberg. Visitors can explore Ice Age archaeological finds at Bärenhöhle, the tri-border monument at Tromejnik, and numerous 'Warten'—historic observation towers offering views across the Austrian-Hungarian border. The list also features the unique birdwatching habitats of the Neusiedler See-Seewinkel National Park and lakeside recreational areas.
