Lake Neusiedl is cycling country: flat, with paths among vineyards and the great strip of reed bed that surrounds the water. From Rust, the most pleasant stretch is south to Mörbisch, the last village before Hungary and home of the lake festival, and back the same way. In Rust, Johann Schneeberger (Rathausplatz 15) hires bikes and e-bikes and there is a nextbike station next to the Seebad entrance. To cross the lake with your bike there are ferries from several companies in season; confirm which harbours are running before setting out.
