Oil Derrick Installation and Petroleum Museum Neusiedl an der Zaya

Until a few years ago, the last drilling rigs were still to be found in the Van Sickle oil field between Ortisei and Neusiedl. Richard Keith van Sickle Neusiedl / Zaya's oil fields made the community one of the richest oil communities in the Weinviertel. The outdoor swimming pool has survived to this day, the indoor swimming pool and the mini golf course unfortunately not, and only two exhibits of the petroleum nature trail are left in Neusiedl. This is what the oil museum from the 1980s still stands for.
What's new: 7 old winding towers, which are now an art installation reminiscent of the old days when Neusiedl even had its own ski lift ...The oil museum and the derrick installation are located on the exit from the village in the direction of Ortisei (museum if you register in advance at the municipal office).
