The Windmuhle Podersdorf (1849) is one of the last standing Pannonian-style windmills on the Neusiedler See, standing at the edge of Podersdorf’s vineyards on the flat eastern shore of Austria’s only steppe lake. The structure fits the landscape exactly: flat, windswept, with reed beds visible to the west. Podersdorf is 40 km east of Eisenstadt; check local hours for interior access. Combine with the Nationalpark Neusiedler See-Seewinkel and the lake shore for a full picture of Burgenland’s puszta character.
