Lake Neusiedl
This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 12 January 2023, shows Lake Neusiedl, a unique and beautiful water body located on the border of Austria and Hungary.
As the largest endorheic lake (i.e., having no outflow to an external body of water such as a river or ocean) in Central Europe, it is home to a rich biodiversity. The lake supports a wide range of ecosystems, from wetlands and reed beds to grasslands and woodlands, providing vital habitats for many species of wildlife. From graceful swans and majestic herons to playful otters and mischievous foxes, Lake Neusiedl is an ecological treasure trove. The lake is also an important stopover point for many migrating birds, making it a popular destination for birdwatching.
