A lake and no mountains

From Monday to Wednesday I was in Illmitz at the Neusiedler See (Lake Neusiedl) in the north-east of Austria.
Lake Neusiedl is the second largest steppe lake in Central Europe and the only one in Austria.
I was there with my school and it was very interesting.
We visited the national park and watched the birds and the landscape.
On Tuesday we went around by bike and it was great fun.

I took many pictures, here are some of them.


That isn't the Lake Neusiedl. There are many smaller lakes around...



A Greylag Goose family - they are so cute!



An old typical well


No mountains, no hills...everything is flat. The highest "mountain" in that area is something about 400m high. That's nothing!
But you can see, that the landscape of the small country Austria has different sites. In the east there aren't mountains and in the west there are mountains more than 2 500m high...


Water, water, water... that's Lake Neusiedl (and some "mountains" in the back)


A vineyard



And there is no vineyard without poppies



Frogs. I love how the stare at you.



I hope you like some of the photos.
