Who it's for
Families; play area, mini-golf and trampoline

Lake Neusiedl is shallow and its water cloudy, so the bathing complex at Rust, at the end of the lake canal, combines lake water with a solar-heated pool: geysers, a rapids channel, a 37-metre slide and an island with a climbing net. Around it are lawns, a playground, mini-golf, a trampoline and beach volleyball. From the Seebad you can hire sailing, electric and pedal boats, kayaks and SUP boards. It is open in the summer season.
