On the other hand, the organic meat of this special type of cattle is firm, short-fibred, slightly marbled, and very low in fat. It tastes excellent, so it comes as no surprise that it is held in high regard by restaurants. South of the villages of Apetlon and Illmitz, you can watch the long-horned gray steppe cattle in their natural environment. As approximately 300 animals graze in vast pasture areas, it is sometimes hard to see them at all.
Delicious specialties from the Neusiedler See-Seewinkel Steppenrind National Park are on the menu at a number of inns and restaurants. National park sausages and national park ham are prized delicacies at local businesses. Nevertheless, since only a few animals are slaughtered each year, the products are available in limited amounts.
