Seewinkel

South of Podersdorf, between the Neusiedler See and the Hungarian frontier, stretches the Seewinkel, an area of salt steppe country dotted with small lakes and ponds (the "Lacken"), with interesting plants and wildlife (many species of birds). Every year in autumn numerous gray, speckled and white geese come to the Lange Lacke in the Seewinkel. Some breed in Russia and Siberia, and when the "Lacken" and the Neusiedler See freeze they usually migrate to Yugoslavia and Italy. In early summer, too, bird migration can be observed in this region. Also of interest to holidaymakers are the "Pannonia Holiday Center" (a holiday village with reed-thatched bungalows and the Hotel Pannonia; thermal spring) and the "Pamhagen Steppe Animal Park" in the
