March brought the first harvests of peppers, asparagus and salad, while nature already came up with unexpectedly high temperatures in April. At the beginning of May the large ORF Burgenland hike took place, in which more than 4,000 participants explored the region. At the same time in the national park, such as burgenland.info , the spectacular bird train takes place: in January up to 35,000 geese can be observed and the gray geese begin in February breed. Spring attracts a variety of bird species and puts the region into a real natural observation high season.

not everything went peaceful - in June the inconsistent weather made headlines. Heavy rain led to floods in South Burgenland, while in midsummer temperatures of up to 35 degrees in Eisenstadt were recorded. December is again mild with a fall in the temperature in late autumn, which was not long -lasting. As the national park shows, winter is not only the time for returning goose shades, but also a time of intensive bird observation, while the first orchids are already blooming, and the life of nature continues tirelessly.
