What defines riding in Burgenland?

Neusiedl Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape of shimmering water, vast reed beds, and migratory birds, anchors Austria's easternmost state. Seewinkel, the lake's eastern fringe, is home to horse-drawn carriage outings that carry families and groups of up to 100 through this singular wetland scenery. Southward, the hills unfold into vineyards, orchards, and sunflower fields, where rural lanes wind past baroque churches and thatched wine taverns. As Austria's warmest and sunniest federal state, Burgenland draws riders from early spring through late autumn.
