Lake Neusiedl–Seewinkel National Park

"Neusiedler See-See-Seewinkel: the steppes and salt marshes on the Austro-Hungarian border On the eastern end of Austria, this national park features an astonishingly flat, almost maritime landscape. Thanks to its semi-continental microclimate, Lake Neusiedler, a vast expanse of shallow water bordered by reeds, is a major stopover on the migratory routes of more than 300 species of birds, including black storks and flamingos: observation platforms, accessible by bike or on foot from the village of Illmitz, let you catch a glimpse of these large birds."
