Lake Neusiedl is often referred to as the "Sea of the Viennese." The region offers a unique flora and fauna in and around the steppe lake, as well as a simple yet fulfilling way of life. In the Ausseerland, every lake has its own distinct character. Nestled in picturesque mountain valleys, customs, craftsmanship, and traditions remain deeply rooted to this day. The Salzkammergut is a region renowned far beyond Austria’s borders. Once shaped by salt mining, today, tourism around the lakes has become a key economic driver.
