Burgenland Attractions

 
Burgenland ("land of castles"), the most easterly of the Austrian Länder, is made up of two quite different territories. To the east lie the great plains of the puszta, extending over the Hungarian frontier to the Carpathians; in this area is Europe's only steppe lake, the Neusiedler See. The southern part of the Burgenland is a region of wooded hills, the eastern foothills of the Alps, with many castles built here in what was for centuries a frontier area, occupied by the Romans and later exposed to attack successively by the Huns and the Turks. It is now a region of pastureland and fruit orchards.
