THE AUTUMN BIRD'S WORLD ON THE HACKELSBERG - Purbach

The autumnal world of birds on the Hackelsberg

As a striking elevation on the western shore of Lake Neusiedl, the Hackelsberg not only offers a breathtaking panoramic view over water, reed beds and vineyards - it is also a valuable nature reserve with diverse habitats for autumnal birdlife.

Typical species such as the yellowhammer and the lively long-tailed tit can be observed among the dry grassland, hedge structures and sparse woodland. With a bit of luck, other feathered autumn guests will show up to find food and refuge here.

A walk on the Hackelsberg combines nature enjoyment with exciting insights into the special birdlife of this region. Far-reaching views, tranquillity and the rustling of the autumn landscape make this excursion an atmospheric experience on Lake Neusiedl. 🍂🕊️
