Breitenbrunn.

Quiet beaches and vineyard slopes on Lake Neusiedl's western shore.

Wine Tasting

Breitenbrunn sits on the western shore of Lake Neusiedl, with vineyards sloping down toward the shoreline. The village keeps a quiet, unpolished character among the lake's shoreline settlements: a small harbor holds sailboats, and open-air bathing areas line the shore where the lake's shallow water warms quickly through the summer months. Behind the beaches, vineyards produce the region's wines, grown in the warm Pannonian climate typical of this part of Burgenland. Wine taverns open seasonally, pouring the year's harvest alongside simple regional food. Cycling paths link the vineyards to the water and continue along the flat, open shoreline. Breitenbrunn combines lake life and wine culture in a low-key setting, distinct from the busier resort towns elsewhere on Neusiedl's shore.
