Neusiedl am See: Town, Tabor Ruins and Lakeshore
The town that gave the lake its name
- Duration
- 1.5 hours
- Languages
- German, English
This private tour shows you Neusiedl am See, the district town on the north shore that gave Lake Neusiedl its name. It links town history, the Tabor ruins and a walk through the reed belt to the lakeside beach.
Neusiedl sits at the northern tip of Lake Neusiedl, the largest steppe lake in Central Europe. Above the town rise the Tabor ruins, the remains of a medieval castle with wide views over the lake and the Parndorf plateau.
Your guide talks about the border location, wine and fishing and shows you the main square and parish church. Then you walk the long causeway through the reeds to the shore, where you learn why the lake is so shallow and why its water level keeps changing.
This is a private tour: just your own group, your pace and plenty of time for questions. Our licensed guides are happy to adjust the focus to your interests before the day.

Frequently asked questions
Are entrance fees included?
No. Entrance fees for the lakeside beach are not included in the tour price and are paid on site. Your guide will let you know in advance which tickets you will need.
How is the price calculated?
This is a private tour, so you pay one price per group, not per person. The amount depends on the duration and group size, and you receive a quote with your request.
Why is Lake Neusiedl so shallow?
It is a steppe lake with no natural outlet and in most places only about one to two meters deep. Its water level depends heavily on rainfall and evaporation.
