!!!Parndorfer Platte

Parndorf Plain (also called Parndorf Heath), in northern part of 
Burgenland, alt. 160-180 m, area approx. 200 km%%sup 2/%, 
terrace gravel deposited by the River Danube during the Ice Age, 
situated between Lake Neusiedl and the Leithagebirge Mountains in the 
southwest and Lower Leitha in the northeast. An almost treeless plain, 
it is about 30 m higher than its surroundings, without any rivers 
or streams. Partly heath land with Pannonian flora and partly arable 
land. Wine growing on the steep loess slopes facing Lake Neusiedl. All 
towns are situated at the foot of the scarps. Large-scale dairy 
farming. The Eastern Railway line and the A 4 autobahn (opened in 
autumn 1994) run through the Parndorf plain. Draw-wells give the 
landscape a puszta character; Roman roads.
