August 29, 2026, St. Andrä am Zicksee Campsite

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 Vogelturm Lange Lacke (often also referred to as Aussichtsturm Lange Lacke Süd) is located directly on the southern shore of the Lange Lacke near Apetlon. It serves as an optimal observation point for undisturbed viewing of the species-rich birdlife and the typical Pannonian lake landscape from above. Due to its location on the well-known Lackenradweg cycle path and on circular hiking trails, the wooden tower is a popular destination for cyclists, hikers, and ornithologists.

The historic shaduf wells are a defining landmark of the Pannonian cultural landscape around Lake Neusiedl. Originally, they were used to supply drinking water to livestock on the vast steppe pastures by simplifying drawing water with the long lever beam. Today, the remaining wells stand as protected cultural monuments in the landscape and also serve many birds of prey as popular vantage and resting points.

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.
