Lake Neusiedl & reed belt

Lake Neusiedl is a rather young lake with its approx. 13000 years. Tectonic collapses in the area of today's Hanság formed a first lake basin, another one followed south of Neusiedl. Subsequent depressions in the southern part created the present lake basin, but at the same time the shallow Hanság silted up.Today the lake basin covers an area of about 320 km². More than half of it - 180 km² - is covered with reeds. The average depth of the lake is slightly more than one meter.

Approximately 180 km² is the area of the reed belt around Lake Neusiedl. This wilderness of reed stalks, water and mud thus represents the second largest contiguous reed area in Europe.
