Visitor programme and guided tours

Neusiedler See - Seewinkel National Park offers guided tours all year round, with themes chosen to suit the season. The excursions run on set dates and last around 3 hours. The tours follow surfaced paths.

 Seven municipalities  (Andau, Apetlon, Illmitz, Neusiedl am See, Podersdorf, Tadten and Weiden am See) reach into the national park area. 50% of the area is pure natural landscape undisturbed by human activity. The protection zones of the national park cover mainlycultural landscape and nature conservation rules apply there. 

The park area is divided into 6 zones: Apetlon - Lange Lacke, Illmitz - Hölle, Podersdorf - Karmazik, Sandeck - Neudegg, Waasen - Hanság and  Zitzmannsdorfer Wiesen.

Neusiedler See - Seewinkel National Park was founded in 1993, but as early as 1991  Fertö-Hanság Nemzeti Park was founded on the Hungarian side. The national park is the first Austrian cross-border national park.
