Most of the route is paved; only short sections are covered with fine gravel. These sections pass through protected landscapes such as the Zitzmannsdorfer Wiesen near Podersdorf am See. Whether you're riding a mountain bike, gravel bike, or e-bike, the Lake Neusiedl Cycle Path is the perfect route for all kinds of bikes! The lake is always worth a detour, because each of the many lakeside resorts has its own charm.

A complete round trip of the lake takes you across the border to Hungary, an EU internal border, but you should still carry your passport. Here too, the information signposts are clear and complete. The cycle path in Hungary is newly paved in parts and the stretch between Balf and Fertörákos is a completely new route through the vineyards with a fantastic view across the reed bed to Lake Neusiedl. This stretch is, however, quite steep in some parts, which can be challenging in the summer heat.
Please note: In Hungary, safety vests must be worn at dusk, in the dark, and in poor visibility! There are several bike and e-bike rental stations along the route.
