Tips from the Community
The campsite in St. Andrä am Zicksee is located close to nature in the Burgenland's Seewinkel region and forms an ideal starting point for flat bike tours as well as birdwatching. A special animal feature of the flat meadow terrain is the locally native, tame ground squirrel (Ziesel) population; for their protection, a strict dog ban applies on the site. As the Zicksee is currently heavily dried out, the campsite is currently primarily for quiet nature camping rather than classic bathing fun.

The Zicksee near St. Andrä am Zicksee is a typical, extremely shallow salt lake in the Seewinkel region, which depends significantly on precipitation and groundwater levels. Due to persistent droughts, the lake almost completely dried up in the summer of 2022, after which the fish population had to be caught. In the meantime, the water level has recovered due to abundant rainfall, which means the Zicksee continues to be an important biotope for rare steppe birds and a popular excursion destination in the region.

The canoe safari (or the guided water adventure safari) of St. Martins Therme & Lodge is a guided tour where you explore the water worlds and reed belt of the Neusiedler See – Seewinkel National Park directly from the water together with the in-house St. Martins Rangers. Instead of just observing from land, you glide silently by boat/canoe through the canals and the reed belt of Lake Neusiedl. This allows you to get close to the hiding places of water birds and rare flora without disturbing the animals with loud engines.

At the edge of Lake Zicksee, towards the southwest, things become quieter. There are also plenty of benches for resting by the lake.

Fantastic autumn colors shine on the edge of Lake Zicksee in St. Andrä.

The autocorrect has made a mistake again: the lake is called "Zicksee", not "Zickensee".
