Our visitors do not concern themselves with state borders and they appreciate interesting tourist attractions. The development of tourism across the states is of great importance to me and contributes to the development of tourism in a sustainable way in the wake of the Exhibi-tion of Lower Austria .

Governor Dr Erwin Pröll

Between the major urban centres Vienna and Bratislava, the Römerland Carnuntum – March-feld region has become the most popular holiday destination area. Together with the neighbouring region Neusiedlersee, it combines a wealth of natural and cultural attractions with a great de-velopment and market potential.

Regional minister for tourism Dr Petra Bohuslav

With its 2,500 kilometres of excellent cycle routes the Burgenland region is a paradise for cyclists. The cross-border cycle project further improves the offers for cyclists in the Burgenland region. Last but not least, it represents an excellent opportunity for the local economy to develop the tourism industry.

Governor Hans Niessl

I am pleased that we managed to initiate this cross-border project as part of the Exhibition of Lower Austria. The good partnership between the Burgenland region and Lower Austria is now also reflected in tourism – with a show-piece project which both regions are very likely to benefit from.

Provincial parliament member Michaela Resetar

EXPLorEr ToUrDANUBE MEETS LAKE NEUSIEDL “Wind, wine and water” – that’s the motto of the 97 kilometre explorer cycle tour that takes you from the fragrant vineyards along the Danube to the red-lined shores of Lake Neusiedl. Be it Roman history close enough to touch or baroque joie de vivre – there is certainly no shortage of historical attractions. There is also plenty to discover for nature lovers: the green alluvial forests of the Danube Floodplains National Park or the unspoilt reed beds of the Lake Neusiedl-Seewinkel National Park – the Explorer tour delivers to its promises. The Lake Neusiedl

region is also an official UNESCO world heritage area. There are many opportunities along the easy level route to stop off for a glass of water or wine, or to indulge in some culinary delicacies. The train journey to the three individual parts of the route, from Neusiedl am See via Bruck an der Leitha to Petronell Carnuntum, from Petronell Carnuntum to Kittsee and from Kittsee nach Neusiedl am See, is just as relaxing. Starting and end points are all connected to the public transport network. Plan your own individual cycle tour. The following pages tell you all about the regions and their cultural attractions and leisure facilities as well as ways to connect to other cycle routes.

As its motto “Wind, Wine and Water” sug-gests, there is plenty to see while on the Explorer Tour. For example, you can find out all about the topic of wind in the wind infor-mation centre in Prellenkirchen. Or you can taste the region’s fine wines in the historical cellars of Edelstal. Water will be your con-stant companion while on the Explorer Tour. Be it in the form of the impressive Danube floodplains, the revitalising lidos of Lake Neusiedl or the thirst-quenching mineral water known as Römerquelle. Your thirst for knowledge will also be satisfied. There is plenty of culture to explore, from the Roman excavations in Petronell-Carnuntum and the medieval town centre of Bruck an der Leitha all the way to the largest private collection of paintings in Rohrau Castle.

The Explorer Tour has much to offer: from excellent public transport connections (see next page), beautiful rest areas for cyclists and cyclist-friendly businesses to the many additional offers such as e-mobility and electric charging stations, bike hire, Next-bike bike hire and cycle taxis. We provide the opportunities. You have the choice.

The latest excursion guides, an accom-modation list and additional information is available from the Danube regional office Römerland Carnuntum-Marchfeld or from the tourism office of Lake Neusiedl.

The friendly farming and winegrowing com-munity Berg in Lower Austria is a popular ex-cursion destination for families with children. There is plenty to explore there, such as the region’s mysterious woods and romantic hiking trails, as well as the Pottenburg ruin. For more than 1000 years these mighty ancient walls have been looking down from their forested mountain peak. On clear days, the 20-metre observation tower grants magnificent views of Lake Neusiedl, the Pannonian Plain all the way to Hungary and to Bratislava in Slovakia, where you can follow the course of the Danube river.

Connecting services: Tour of the Hundsheim mountains, connection from Berg to Danube cycle path no. 6 with connection to Carnuntum – Hof Castle – Bratislava Tour

You will find very special natural resources in Bruckneudorf and surroundings, from the im-perial palace complex from Roman times to the Kaisersteinbruch stone quarry in the foothills of the Leitha mountains. Many cultural memorials such as the Dreikaiserhaus building, the Franz Joseph memorial in the imperial park, Königs-hof Castle, and the canning factory and the K&K pea shelling factory also bear witness to the former imperial significance of the town, which was a military camp in 1867. There are cosy ta-verns, hiking and cycle paths in the Heidwiesen meadows, the Leitha floodplains and the Leitha mountain.

Nature as far as the eye can see – that’s the promise of the Lake Neusiedl region. Expan- sive plains, hilly vineyards and Central Europe’s largest steppe lake. There is a reason why the region has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001. In the midst of this paradisia-cal landscape you find the 800-year old district capital Neusiedl am See – a great place for shopping and above all a sunny destination for holiday-makers from around the world. The modern lido, the indoor sports and adventure pool, outstanding accommodation and restau-rants and many events round off the amenities on offer.

SchönaBrunn

The town of Schönabrunn combines idyllic countryside with history. It belongs to the market town of Prellenkirchen and is located along the Roman wine route Carnuntum in the eastern corner of Lower Austria. Its charming landscape features include vineyards, fields and floodplains – a true paradise for cyclists, anglers and lovers of good food and wine. In addition to the main variety of Blaufränkisch, there is above all also Zweigelt, and in the past few years, Merlot and Shiraz, mostly used for cuvées, have also been grown. Grüner Veltliner is the main white wine, but Chardonnay and Welschriesling are also worth a mention.
