Wind and shallow water

Lake Neusiedl is on average only about one metre deep, so in many places you can stand in the water, which makes learning easier. According to Burgenland Tourism, kiting is currently allowed almost everywhere on the lake. In strong winds, however, the wind pushes water away and some spots become very shallow.

The lido, the sailing school and a kite area are right next to the apartments.
