Fertő-Hanság National Park

The landscape combines wetlands, grasslands, and woodlands across three geographical zones, creating habitats for numerous plant and animal species at the Austrian border.

The national park received its protected status in 1991 and gained international recognition as a Ramsar site for its wetland preservation efforts.

The area encompasses the Fertö-Neusiedlersee Cultural Landscape, where traditional agricultural practices continue alongside natural preservation within local communities.

Visitors can access multiple information centers throughout the park, which provide maps, guided tours, and educational programs about the local ecosystems.

The Fertő Lake within the park stands as the westernmost steppe lake in Europe, maintaining high salinity levels that support specialized aquatic life.
