It originally dates from the Roman era (from the Gruibert area in nearby Winden am See) and today serves as a presented historical monument in Podersdorf. Such massive stone cist finds, together with Roman-era burial grounds and farmsteads, prove the early settlement and use of the Seewinkel region within the sphere of influence of the Roman Empire.

PODObeach in Podersdorf am See is the largest and most extensive lido on Lake Neusiedl and offers a diverse range of leisure activities with its sections for water sports enthusiasts, families, and those seeking relaxation. The facility's defining landmark is the approximately twelve-meter-high, red-and-white striped lighthouse on the main jetty, which serves as a signal and storm warning system and is one of the region's most famous photographic motifs. As the only place on the lake with barrier-free, reed-free access to the water, the area attracts both active sports enthusiasts like kitesurfers and day-trippers for picturesque sunsets.
