Rust, Historic wine town on Lake Neusiedl, Austria.
The town contains numerous Renaissance and Baroque buildings along its narrow streets, with many storks nesting on the rooftops throughout spring and summer.
In recognition of its wine production excellence, Rust received special rights as a Free City in 1681 from Emperor Leopold I of the Habsburg Empire.
The regional wine production includes the creation of special dessert wines, with many local producers offering tastings in traditional stone cellars beneath their houses.
Visitors can reach Rust by taking a train to Neusiedl am See station, followed by a local bus connection that operates multiple times throughout the day.
The shallow waters of Lake Neusiedl near Rust maintain a constant temperature, creating specific weather patterns that benefit both wine cultivation and migratory birds.
