The bee-eater colony on Ungerberg, a fine vineyard in Weiden am See, is a must-see. It's reminiscent of the sandstone dwellings of the Nabataeans in Petra, Jordan. In summer, you can also enjoy the colorful birds themselves. But please shhh. The fantastic view from Ungerberg of Lake Neusiedl and the vineyards is best enjoyed in peace anyway.

An interesting cultural encounter with works by an Austrian sculptor with Italian roots. Admission to the open-air museum is free. More information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wander_Bertoni and https://www.bildhauer-wanderbertoni.com/

A side note: I happened to find a very nice children's book (Chiara and the Bee-Eaters) with a lovely story. You can find out more at www.chiarasabenteuer.at.

In 1965, the sculptor Wander Bertoni purchased a watermill in Winden am See, at the foot of the Leitha Mountains. On old cultural land (Roman villa, discovery of the oldest wine press on Austrian territory - second half of 200 AD) an art site of a very special kind and unique in Europe was created. In the Wander Bertoni open-air museum, numerous large sculptures by the artist can be viewed in the open air all year round. www.bildhauer-wanderbertoni.com

North of Jois is the Ochsenbrunnen. A small pond in the middle of a natural landscape that makes every romantic heart beat faster. It's worth a visit, especially on hot days: Located at the edge of the forest, old trees provide enough shade, fresh spring water gushes out of the fountain and offers refreshment, and benches with tables invite you to rest. Water lilies adorn the pond and colorful dragonflies regularly pay a visit. And the view of Jois and Lake Neusiedl is tremendous.
