The previously dried water in the Neusiedl am See District (Burgenland) has been revived and is now a bird paradise. Will the swimmers ever get their account back?
The photo documents of August 2022 are still effective. Thousands of fish died painfully, a stepp landscape remained – where the popular Zicksee was previously popular in the Neusiedl Am See District.
After two dry years, the Zicksee has been helped since August 2024 with pumps from six fountains. They were switched off every the year and will only be started again when the water level falls below 119.35 meters above Adriatic, reports the mayor of St. Andrä, Michael Schmidt (Spö). “Of course you have to keep an eye on the groundwater level. If the danger threatens that it will be too low, an external water supply is no more possible for us.
De Hoop is back
Because of these measures, life was finally able to return to Zicksee. It just wore pale chickens, geese, ducks. Swan pairs have also settled. “I can’t predict how that will bathe with us in the future,” says Schmidt. “But at least the hope is back.” Of course the guests had decreased during the drought. Who doesn’t look at it? But: “Tourists and day trippers enjoy nature, peace. They go through cycling or walking. Just like the people being treated in the special hospital.
Something happens
Schmidt also notes that “something happens slowly again”. To move fish – the water level is about half a meter – whether it is too early. “It is quite possible that some are in it. But that is due to the birds that unconsciously separate the spawn.
The well -positioned gastronomy around the Zicksee had a loss, logical, but nobody had to lock up. So it seems to have been a wise decision by Hoesplady Luzia SKERLAN not to rename her “Seeblick” Inn.
