Birdwatching in Austria
Austria is an Alpine, land locked, central European country with a quite diverse avifauna. Austrias territory offers a wide spectrum of birding spots: The highest mountain peaks and glaciers in the Eastern Alps to the lowland steppes in the East, Alpine lakes and the famous Steppe lake Neusiedl, the rivers Danube, March, Thaya, Mur and Inn with riverine forests aside...
Seewinkel just a 50min drive from Vienna ist located east of Lake Neusiedl and offers excellent birding possibilities, depending of water levels of these shallow lakes. But there are also other interesting sites in Eastern Austria, even in Vienna (see World Cities birdguide).
A total of well over 420 species have been recorded in Austria.
It is easy to combine your visit to Austria with some birding activities. Just ask us for more information about birding tours, events, excursions, seminars and trips organised by partners. We love to connect birders to birders. General information about birding please read wikipedia`s page on birdwatching.
