The Neusiedler See - Seewinkel National Park was founded in 1993. The Fertö-Hanság Nemzeti Park in Hungary was established already in 1991. The protected area now covers about 300km². This National Park is the first cross-border National Park in Austria and the first Austrian National Park that was recognised by the IUCN.
The Neusiedler See - Seewinkel National Park covers a total surface of 9700ha of which 50% are Nature Reserve Zone. Here, nature remains untouched as there are no visitors allowed. The area that is accessible for public – the Conservation Zones – is divided into five parts.
The Information Centre in the Austrian part of the National Park is situated north of Illmitz. It is a main information point for all visitors and the starting point for all activities offered in the Conservation Zones of the National Park.
We also offer special programms and prices for school groups.
Please find the info online or contact us directly.
