In a nutshell
A place where the postcard is less pretty than the place.
Rusterhof & Mooslechners Buergerhaus
globetrott Says: Mooslechners Buergerhaus is a building that dates back to the year 1540 and nowadays this scenic old house is a modern hotel and restaurant. They have just 11 suites, but all of them very special,take a look at their web-page below !Unfortunately I saw this house only from...
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.
globetrott Says: Seehof is the last building, when you walk along the mainroad of Rust towards the lake. Seehof was once the townhall of Rust and nowadays it is used for wedding-receptions and in the back of the innercourt you will see these beautiful arcades and a bit further back there is...
globetrott Says: Haydn-Keller is a nice medieval building close to the catholic chuch, I mainly saw it from outside because I was attracted by its great and unique facade. I also tested it as a restaurant because they had "Rieslingsuppe" (a wine-soup) on their menu, but when I came back to...
globetrott Says: Weingut Feiler-Artinger is in my opinion the most beautiful building in Rust, when it comes to interesting architecture : it rather looks like a renaissance-palazzo somewhere in Italy, than a vinters-house in Austria. So it is also no wonder, you will find this special house...
globetrott Says: Rust is famous for its storks and in summer 2007 there were around 63 storks to be found in the nests on top of the chimneys of almost every house in the small town of Rust. In early September most of the storks were flying to Africa in order to hibernate, only a few older...

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...
Peter Schandl: my favorite Buschenschank
globetrott Says: Peter Schandl is my favorite Buschenschank and it seems also to be the favorite place to go for the local people. It is simply nice to sit under this arcade of wine-trees on a warm evening and taste the local wines. The building dates back to 1741This place is open daily...
From Vienna and Eisenstadt by bus
lotharscheer Says: Bus 566 goes from Vienna Südtirolerplatz to Rust Postamt‎, frequently about 2 hours. Bus 665 goes from Eisenstadt Domplatz, € 3,60 frequently about 20 to 35 minutes (some buses make big detours)
globetrott Says: Podersdorf is at the other side of the lake and going there by car will take about 2-3 hours from Rust. For bikers there is a ferry from Rust to Podersdorf, in the main season it is going daily at least twice.From july 1st till september 23rd daily the ferry is leaving...
globetrott Says: Neusiedler See is a national park-area and so it is not allowed to take any ships there with noisy engines, but electric boats and pedalboats are to be found everywhere and they can berented by the hour at the Seebad. When hiring one of the boats you have to leave an...
globetrott Says: Seerundfahrt is a small cruise of about 50 minutes that is offered several times a day and it will start in the back of the Seebad Rust, next to the campingsite Storchencamp.These cruises require a minimum of 15 paying guests, but when the weather is nice and the...
Weindoerfl: shopping for the bus-tourists
globetrott Says: Weindoerfl is a large shopping-area that makes sense mainly for the hasty bus-tourists, who make a stop-over in Rust for maybe 30 minutes, soaking in all of the special atmosphere of Rust within 25 minutes, spending 2 minutes in the toilet and then they still have 3 minutes...
globetrott Says: Buschenschank is the expression for some sort of a quite simple "restaurant" where the vinters are allowed to sell and serve their own wine and a few other pruducts produced by themselves. So it is a restaurant, where you can get wine (made by the vinter himself), mineral...
storms are REALLY dangerous here !!!
globetrott Says: Neusiedler See is totally flat on the ground, it is mostly not more than 2 meters deep and there is just a plain surrounding that lake, so the storms occur very fast. That will lead to the fact that a wind or storm will heap up giant waves that are really dangerous. Every...
globetrott Says: St.Margarethen is just a few km from Rust and at the quarry there sandstone was taken to build houses already at roman times, most buildings of Ringstrasse in Vienna were also made from stones of this quarry. Nowaydays the quarry is used as one of the largest natural stages...
globetrott Says: Breitenbrunn is a small village just a few km north of Rust. I was surprised to find an intersting tower there, it was built in the 13th century in order to watch out for enemies and has a great museum inside nowadys.In the museum you will see an early type of bear that was...
globetrott Says: The Pulverturm dates back to the year 1614 and it was an important part of the medieval townwall. Pulverturm / powder-tower was the place where the explosives were stored and is is part of school for vinters nowadays. Next to the tower you can walk along a quite long part of...
globetrott Says: Rust is the perfect place to go sailing, although this lake has also a lot of dangers for unexperienced sailors due to the flat ground and strong winds that might accur all of a sudden without a warning.In the Seebad-area at the lake you fill find a large sailing-school, see...
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...
