As always - our food at the Lab Stations is an offer. Everyone can and may - no one has to! In case of possible allergies and intolerances please ask in advance. Self-supply with special food and special active substances and ingredients may be the better choice in case of a strong food intolerance!
Please keep in mind that the Burgenland Extreme Tour is much more strenuous and exhausting as a summer edition. Drink regularly and be sure to use the public and all of us well-marked drinking water stations in Rust, Balf, Hegykö, Sarrod, Fertöujlak, Apetlon, Illmitz, Hölle, Podersdorf, Neusiedl, Jois, Winden, Breitenbrunn, Purbach, Donnerskirchen and Oggau!!!!
TOUR HOTLINE VS. EMERGENCY CALL
Please use our tour hotline whenever you need our support. Alex, our Head of Service is there for you around the clock with his team! In life-threatening emergencies, please dial the emergency number right away! You will find all numbers on the TourGuide! In Apetlon there is a Red Cross medical team ready, at the finish an experienced emergency doctor is stationed just in case!
IN EVERY HIKER THERE IS ALSO A BIKER.
B 10, Neusiedler See Radweg, Güterweg, Weg des Lebens, Burgenland Extrem Trail - whatever you call this trail - basically it is about the respectful and peaceful use of a common meeting zone for hikers, cyclists, residents and farmers. In short, the path is there for everyone - even if there are only bicycles painted on the ground....
The faster one pays attention and the smarter one gives way.
Please don't block off the path by walking in a line of three or even four.
And please do not change the way side abruptly.
All this robs even the dearest cyclist of the last nerve. And please always remain polite and friendly - especially with rude and unfriendly stress bikers! Thank you!
WORLD HERITAGE AREA LAKE NEUSIEDL FERTÖ
Together we are crossing the common world cultural heritage of Austria and Hungary. But even in a borderless and friendly Europe there are border crossing rules and agreements, which we of course abide by. Please take an identity card or passport with you in any case. Even if your way doesn't lead through Hungary, at the latest when you return with the shuttle bus the journey goes through and over Hungary... THANK YOU!
OGGAU: THE NEW OLD DESTINATION
Oggau is and remains the destination of our long journey around Lake Neusiedl. This year our legendary finisher couch will finally be back in front of the municipal office!
So please stay on the way from Donnerskirchen to Oggau at the
Please do not walk on the main road in the direction of the church in Oggau. The way over the unblocked country road is neither shorter nor faster - it is just extremely dangerous!
NOW A FEW DESERT FOX TIPS!
DESERT FOX TIP 1
We're all thrifty people anyway - waste-wise. Nevertheless, even we leave a trace or two behind. To compensate and for our peace of mind and climate, we invite you to participate in Europe's biggest hallway cleaning campaign again this year! Please use the very practical start bag / Trashybag to take along your waste and - the great climate god sees everything! - also for taking along foreign garbage on the way of all ways! At the finish line there is a big trash island for proper disposal and even bigger praise for your cooperation!
DESERT FOX TIP 2
Lukewarm peppermint tea is the true desert fuel for hot summer hikes.
So please take your purple reusable cup with you on the Burgenland Extreme Tour! Shortly to the reusable folding cup. Please make sure to pack it - we don't have any disposable cups for you...
DESERT FOX TIP 3
In winter you lose heat through your head - in summer you lose your mind!
Please make sure to use headgear and sunglasses.
DESERT FOX TIP 4
Less is more...
We understand gram hunters who need to optimize every hiking item weight-wise. Our MINIMUM LIST includes products that are welcome to be pierced or otherwise decluttered:
- Safety wrist strap
- Member loop on backpack
- reusable cup
- high-visibility vest
- ID card
- cell phone
- first aid kit
DESERT FOX TIP 5
Animal-loving desert foxes leave their four-legged friends at home in high summer anyway! By early afternoon at the latest, the asphalt path begins to glow. Painful burn blisters on the paws are the result. So, no animals on the summer edition of the Burgenland Extreme Tour! Assistance dogs please only in consultation with us!
Thank you!
DESERT FOX TIP 6
Life and the paths that go with it are wonderful gifts.
But only on the very special paths you will find whatever you are looking for.
Be the walker, the runner, the wanderer who is connected to this world and its inhabitants on all paths. Be the extreme hiker, the spacewalker you've always wanted to meet. In doing so, remain the wonderful, generous and awesome person that you are!
