In our time, the lake – a popular holiday destination and a unique biosphere reserve. More recently, several picturesque parks have been landscaped around the lake. Neusiedler See and the surrounding areas are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The lake area is 36 km 2. The lake has a rather unusual shape – it stretched from south to north. Almost the entire coastline of the lake is indented. There are many islands and islets on it. It should be noted that Neusiedler See has existed for over 20 000 years. It arose due to fluctuations in the earth's crust at the end of the ice age. The water in Neusiedler See is slightly salted. Throughout its history, the lake has dried up several times. The lake is home to about 15 species of fish, the most common of which are pike, pike perch, carp and loach. A large number of birds nest on the shores – geese, herons, warblers and others.
