Radfahren am Neusiedlersee

Yesterday was a holiday in Austria. I went with friends to the Neusiedlersee, a big lake in the south east of Vienna, very near the hungarian border. We rent bikes at the station and did the whole "austrian" tour, that is about 70 km !
This lake has something peculiar... it is just between 1 and 2 meters deep almost everywhere. And the landscape is very flat, as you can see on the picture... So it was not too difficult to bike !
We took a ferry boat near Mörbisch, a small town 2 km far from Hungary, to access the other bank of the lake, and went to Rust, where storks have their nest ! It was beautiful !
