Nature parks

Experience, feel and understand unspoiled nature

The conservation of species and careful handling of the last reserves of natural habitats are, of course, also a priority at the six Burgenland nature parks.

At the same time, all visitors are invited to consciously experience and rediscover nature. There is therefore a wide variety of options to make free time in the countryside an exciting and attractive experience. The most informative activities are without doubt the numerous guided walks along themed routes and educational trails, as well as handicraft or nature therapy seminars. You can, of course, also explore the nature parks on your own, by hiking, cycling or Nordic walking. Burgenland’s well-marked trail network is also a great place to discover all kinds of flora and fauna.

Discover unique landscapes

The beautiful forests, picturesque vineyards, and idyllic river landscapes are ideal spots for unwinding.
