Water sports in their many forms
Your favourite place? On the water. Whether rowing a boat across Lake Neusiedl and soaking up the stillness out on the open lake, finding your balance with stand-up paddling (or maybe wobbling straight into the reeds), or gliding over natural ice on skates during the coldest days of winter – here, water sports take on many forms. In and around Lake Neusiedl, opportunities to be active are everywhere. And when you’re ready to slow down? Just settle yourself on the shore, take in the wide horizon, and watch the water ripple into the distance.
Exploring by boat
The landscape around Lake Neusiedl reveals even more of its maritime charm when seen from the water. And where can you best capture that easy, carefree spirit? Out on a boat, of course! Whether you pedal or row along, or opt for the comfort of an electric boat or a guided tour – that unmistakable life-is-light feeling finds you either way.
Casual and sporty:
stand-up paddling, kayaking, canoeing
Looking for just the right blend of movement and immersion in nature? Stand-up paddling lets you experience the remarkable flora and fauna of Lake Neusiedl up close from atop your board. The same goes for kayaking and canoeing: as you dip your paddle rhythmically into the water, you’ll glide past the rich biodiversity of the lakeshore and the gently winding Leitha River.
Kitesurfing, windsurfing, and sailing, oh my!
With excellent wind conditions and generous hours of sunshine, Lake Neusiedl is a dream for thrill-seekers. Sailing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing each offer a full-body workout with serious scenic value. The lake is one of eastern Austria’s premier surf spots. And whether you’re trying a beginner’s sailing course or working towards a licence, the expert team at Boats2Sail in Weiden is ready to get you started.
Pure winter fun:
ice skating on the lake
Ice skating on natural ice – just like you did as a child. A long-cherished dream that just might come true at Lake Neusiedl. In cold winters, a thick, glistening sheet of ice forms across the lake, inviting you to glide freely and effortlessly across its frozen surface.
