Parndorf Plain

200 square kilometres (77 sq mi), with terraced gravel deposited by the River Danube during the Ice Age, situated between Lake Neusiedl and the Leitha Mountains in the southwest and Lower Leitha in the northeast.

An almost treeless plain, it is about 30 metres (98 ft) higher than its surroundings, without any rivers or streams.

The East railway line and the A4 autobahn (opened in Autumn 1994) run through the Parndorf plain.

The almost continuous reign of the north-easterly wind is occasionally interrupted by a gusty south-easterly.

On the plain of the Parndorfer Platte the biggest modern wind farms in Austria have been set up.
