Busy in Summer
In a nutshell
A place where the postcard is less pretty than the place.
lotharlerch Says: Rust is quite proud of its storks and indeed you can spot many nests on the roofs and just outside the centre is the "Storchenwiese", one of the favourite places of the storks to hunt for frogs and other food to feed their breed.
coccinella169 Says: Fischerkirche is a very old, nice looking church and the historically most interesting building in Rust. Parts of it date back to the 11th century. It is very small. As there are two further churches in Rust, they do not use Fischerkirche for masses anymore. Entrance fee is...
longsanborn Says: Rust is famous for its excellent wines. There are several wine producers in the area (I believe they have the word "Weingut" in front of their names; I could be wrong!), and you should not miss trying out the wines in any heurigen or restaurant around Rust. Having a 1/8...
Go duck watching by the Neusiedler See (Lake)
longsanborn Says: The area around the Neusiedler See is a wetland area for nature and wildlife. The shores were covered in tall reeds. You can walked around the shore (pavements were provided) and watch the ducks and ducklings swimming around or flying about. It is a peaceful way to spend the...
BorneoGrrl Says: Walking around Rust town is interesting because not only you see the storks nesting on the rooftops, the building here are pretty and colourful. Take your time and walk around the main city hall square (Rathausplatz).
BorneoGrrl Says: Rust has a nearby lake where you can easily walk to and enjoy the natural surroundings. The vast wetlands surrounding the lake are renowned for the richness and variety of its birdlife, for the simple reason that the reeds create huge areas of inaccessible animal habitat. In...
socrates_07 Says: When you arrive at the lake you also have the chance to take a sunbath.On this photo you see the beach during the week, there were not too many people. But if you think you will find this place in this conditon at the weekend ( at daytime) you are completely wrong. (well, of...
1 Review and 11 Opinions If you want to stay near the lake in luxury, this is the place to be!! It is a four star hotel...

Just look for anyone open: Heuriger (Buschenschank)
lotharlerch Says: "Ausg'steckt" is of course not the name of any Heuriger (or Buschenschank) but you should nevertheless in every wine town or village in Lower Austria, Burgenland or Styria and even some outskrits of Vienna look out for the big boards with this title. They list all the...
Elfenhof Schenke Vinotek: Don't Miss the Excellent Wines!
longsanborn Says: We went to this Vinotek/Restaurant because it was the only one opened on the evening we arrived in Rust. In fact, the place was so quiet, we thought it was not good. However, once we looked at their wine list and tried a few wines, we were impressed at the good quality wines...
Rathauskeller Restaurant: Try out this local place!
longsanborn Says: Nice, antique-looking but cosy restaurant in the cellar/basement of the Rathaus (Town Hall) in Rust. The service was fast and friendly. Austrian food was simple but good.I like the big fireplace in the middle of the room.
Rathauskeller Restaurant: Traditional Austrian food
BorneoGrrl Says: The Rathauskeller or City Hall Celler in Rust was once an old wine cellar and now turned into a restaurant. It is a cosy restaurant where you can enjoy good wine and traditional Austrian fare. Here find you in addition a large selection of Austrian quality wines, which is...
Elfenhof Schenke: Wine Tasting at the Vinotek
BorneoGrrl Says: When in Austria during Autumn, you must not miss out on the wine tasting. It is much more affordable when you do outside Vienna, plus the quantity given is more generous. Elfenhof Schenke is a lovely heurigen-restaurant which serves their own brand of wine. During this...
Roemerzeche Rust (Roman Tavern): Do not mis-pronounce the order
ray_d Says: Pleasant, court-yard Resturant. Vine covered canopy over wooden tables and benches.The lovely part of the place is that everyone was comfortable enough to be tipsy.Couples from all walks of life and class mixed in a friendly athmosphere.The food, of course, was perfectly...
Out of season, you will find Rust is extremely quiet but when the weather is warm and there are tourists around, then there is alot to do in the evenings. Most bars have an evening programme with live music or a disco. I caught one of the free live music concerts near the Csarda restaurant before going home.

If you like to have a sweet tooth you will find something in the Elfenhof Schenke as well.
On this photo you can see "Somlauer Nockern" (Somloi galuska), a typical hungarian sweetness. It's not exactly like in Hungary but very delicious as well.
Besides you can see Palatschinken filled with jam.
Audrey, you would love it.... ;-)

mel_bee Says: The sundial was found by one of the locals who recognized what the engravings on the stone meant and restored it to its present state. It is located near the town museum and is near to a war memorial.
lotharlerch Says: Lake Neusiedler See is often nicknamed "The Sea of the Viennese" - no wonder - apart from predictable weekend rush hours you can reach the lake from Vienna easily on a comfortable drive of one hour (about 50 km). And the lake with a water surface of about 320 km2, about a...
Also the village of the high society
socrates_07 Says: Maybe you would expect you will see only tourists, fishermen or sailer in Rust. But you are wrong, also rich people like to enjoy the this very nice place. So you also have the chance to see such cars....
socrates_07 Says: Hungary shares the lake Neusiedl with Austria but our neighbour has no Rust. You don't see many Trabis very often anymore but in Rust I found one.Servusz Trabi....For all my hungarian friends, I don't want to make the world believe ALL Hungarian drive such a car. I know,...

If you ask people about Austria many of them will answer: 'Oh, I know, that's the small country in the middle of Europe. So many moutains, a paradise for skiing....' But Rust is different. There are...
LAKESIDE RUST - HOME OF THE WHITE STORK
This colourful and quaint village is located alongside Lake Neusiedl in Burgenland. Its a sunny place famous for boating and good local wine and well worth a summer trip out from Vienna. For me, my...
The only town at Lake Neusiedler See
This idyllic place is the only town all along the lake Neusiedler See. Of course the area around the lake is rather populated, there are plenty of small villages mostly producing wine and hosting...
I was in Rust end-October 2005. The town was not crowded; it was quiet and peaceful. Summer was over and I was surprised to see a few storks flying in from the Neusiedler See (Lake) and sitting in...
I was told once that the storks that live atop of the chimneys in Rust have been there since some were rescued when they couldn't fly south for the winter. Apparently, some of the birds got hurt and...
