Burgenland Austria
Austrias easternmost state boasts more than 300 days of sunshine in a year. The mild climate of the Burgenland region encourages both sporting activities in the region’s nature reserves and relaxation afterwards in the local spas and thermal baths.
Visitors can follow up that exertion and relaxation with a glass or two of the Austrian wine produced in the local vineyards.
