Lake Neusiedl.

Lake Neusiedl is one of the few steppe lakes in Europe, the reed belt and the surrounding vineyards give it a special character. If you drive over the Leitha Mountains, the last foothills of the Alps, you immediately notice the mild climate of the Pannonian lowlands, which is particularly beneficial for viticulture. How about a wine tasting every Friday afternoon at the Johann Schlösinger winery in our town? There you can taste the wines from the vineyards in Oggau and Rust. The wines are also available in our wine fridge at reception.

What would summer be without the cultural highlights around Lake Neusiedl, such as the Mörbisch lake festival or the opera festival in the St. Margarethen quarry. By the way, you can explore the sandstone from the quarry at our mariaAPPARTMENTS.
